Elephant Hill Sea Chardonnay 2018, Hawkes Bay

Immediately engaging bouquet with aromas of fresh new French barrel overlaid with ripe yellow and golden fleshed orchard fruits, fragrant wood spices and toastiness, a leesy spicy layer and compelling complexity. On the palate - full bodied, nutty and rich in flavour and texture. Wood spices and ripe stone fruits, vanilla custard and cashew, sweet grapefruit peel and a whisper of sea salt. A delicious wine ready to enjoy, an easy cellar choice as well with best drinking from mid to late 2021 through 2025.
