Monowai Chardonnay 2021, Hawkes Bay

An immediate impact of varietal fruit and sweet toasty barrel spices, fresh peach and baked appple, vanilla and a whisper of gun-flint minerality, stony soils and new wine complexity. A smooth satin textured mouthfeel with flavours of stone fruits and tree fruits, some grapefruit and barrel spices combine to give this wine freshness and impact. Fine tannins and medium+ acidity, balanced, well made and ready to drink from 2022 through 2026+.
