Askerne Chardonnay 2019, Hawkes Bay

A lovely bouquet, inviting familiar and fresh with aromas of peaches and oak, vanilla and apple, blond tobacco and raw sugar oak sweetness then a light subtle floral layer and soft stony soil moments. On the palate - weighty creamy texture with a salivating, warm and generous core of fruit and oak flavours, some very fine wood tannins and persistent finish. Flavours reflect the nose; a well made and ready to enjoy from today and through 2024.
