Clearview Estate Endeavour Chardonnay 2018, Hawkes Bay

Bottle Template (1).png

Expressive, bold, complex and enticing. Aromas of baked yellow stone fruit, apricot, red apple, baked custard, no mistaking the youthful push of oak with its toasty Brazil nut and spices message. On the palate - full-bodied, complex, layered and creamy. Full- of texture, weight and creaminess, contrasting acidity and flavours including the new French barrel that reflect the nose. The wine was tasted over two days and began to relax on the second day - showing even more harmony and longevity potential. Really lovely wine with optimal drinking from 2021 through 2025+.
