Alexia 'Happy Wife' Chardonnay 2020, Hawkes Bay

A striking bouquet of roasted yellow stonefruits and raw cashew nut, soft white smoke of wood and baking spices, nicely complex and youthful. The palate shows off texture and some wood spice, fine tannins and medium+ acidity. Fruit flavours of nectarine and peach then baked apple and cashew. Lengthy finish with texture and persistent flavours. Best drinking from 2022 through 2026+.
