Yealands Reserve Chardonnay 2021, Hawkes Bay

Refined and elegant almost delicate bouquet with aromas of white and yellow peach, apple, grapfruit and crushed rock stony mineral quality. Oak scents layer in quietly becoming just a little louder as the wine warms in glass. Youthful on the palate with a coarse silk texture touching first with contrasting core fruit flavours of sweet citrus and stonefruit. A light saline attribute is accentuated by acidity and youthful freshness giving a nice palate squeeze. A fine lees flavours along with gentle flavours of wood smoke layer in complexity and length. A well made wine with immeditaely drinkablility from 2022 through 2028+.
