The Hunting Lodge Ararimu Chardonnay 2021, Waimauku, Auckland
An enticing complex bouquet with aromas of fresh white and yellow fleshed fruits, baked apple and lemon. The use of oak is judicious, noticeable and adds layers of aroma texture and baking spice elements. Youthful and pure. Delicious on the palate, full-bodied with a fantastic texture and overall mouthfeel. Flavours mirror the bouquet with layers of fine tannins and a great acid line. Well made and very easy to sip acorss an hour or two. A fabulous dinner wine with best drinking from 2023 through 2029.
