B.wine Lime Hill Vineyard Chardonnay 2020, Martinborough, Wairarapa

Complex and enticing bouquet led by scents of mineral and chalk then fruit scents of grapefruit, apricot and peach. A wood spice and lees layer folds in complexity. On the palate - youthul still with a taut beginning, as this releases flavours of stone fruits, yoghurt, citrus and apple reflect the nose. Fine tannins and acidity add texture and foundation with some whispers of wood and barrel texture adding complexity and length. Well made, youthful and tasty. Best drinking from late 2022 through 2030.
