Alexia Happy Wife Chardonnay 2018, Hawkes Bay
Fresh, youthful and varietal with a toasty oak and yellow orchard fruit scented bouquet. Flavours of peaches and baked custard, soft baking spices of oak and a sweet vanilla note then a layer of dry stone mineral and grapefruit. A lovely wine, balanced and well made, silky almost creamy textures with a very fine layer of wood tannins and a gentle nut-like finish. Balanced, well made and ready. Best drinking upon purchase and through 2022.
