Linden Estate Chardonnay 2018, Hawkes Bay

Toasty, nutty smoky and spicy bouquet with aromas of brazil-nut and roasted peach, vanilla butter and new French oak, baked apple and some moments of citrus. On the palate - creamy textures with flavours of toasty oak and vanilla, a nut-like flavour of cashew and brazil, red apple, clay and a lush rounded mouth feel. Warming alcohol and acidity, balanced and well made. A classic example for Chardonnay drinkers. Best drinking from today and through 2022.
