Elephant Hill SEA Chardonnay 2020, Hawke's Bay

There’s a rush of aromas from vanilla and oak baking spices, smoke and stony soils then fresh juicy stone fruits from peaches to apricot then apple and grapefruit peel. Youthful, new and enticing. Full-bodied with a satin through coarse silk texture, warm and generous with a saline touch to the acidity. Flavours of peaches and oak interact with a lushness to the fruit and bite to the oak. Fine tannins and medium+ acidity, weight and intensity, power and impact. Oak and vanilla, stone fruits and wood spices, a brazil nut butter quality, plenty of weight and texture with a long finish. Youthful, well made and ready to drink or cellar for another 1-3 years. Best drinking from late 2023 through 2030.
