Babich Irongate Chardonnay 2020, Hawkes Bay

A lovely bouquet with a complex package of aromas from cashew nut to baked peach, whispers of butterscotch and new sweet French oak. Vanilla and raw sugar scents with a fine toasty wood quality, apple, a touch of quince and pear then grapefruit. In other words - complex. On the palate - equally complex with a distinctive palate texture from fine tannins, acidity and contrasting core of fruit. There’s a touch of wood smoke and stony earthy qualities as well. Youthful and needing some cellar time to integrate properly with best drinking from late 2022 through 2030+.
