Esk Valley Artisanal Collection Chardonnay 2021, Hawkes Bay

Aromas of fresh peach and raw cashew nut, baked apple and vanilla spice, there’s a moment of fresh yoghurt suggestng some softening of acidity that works nicely alongside the barrel spice and toasty qualities. Plenty of weight and satin texture on the palate, dry with flavours of tree and orchard fruits, citrus and baking spice. The nutty cashew nut quality also returns. Youthful, refresging and dry. A lovely wine with best drinking from late 2022 through 2028+.
