Villa Maria Reserve Chardonnay 2018, Hawkes Bay
Bold and very expressive bouquet with aromas of smoky oak and brazil nut, stone fruits and ripe grapefruit, lemon and apple, some flinty mineral layers and intriguing complexity. Dry on the palate with a core of fruit and layers of oak, fine tannin sand medium+ acidity. Flavours of roasted yellow stone fruits and apple, grapefruit and leesy spices of barrel ferment and oak. Delicious, fresh, youthful and lengthy with a complex core and finish. Best drinking from 2021 through 2026+.
