Coopers Creek Limeworks Select Vineyards Chardonnay 2021, Hawke's Bay

Deep straw with golden hues lead to a bouquet of toasted stone fruits and barrel spices, there’s a fine mineral chalk-like quality adding complexity and finesse. Aromas of a complete wine. Plenty of classic flavours and textures on the palate with a roasted nut and baked stone fruits attack, vanilla and burnt butter, a touch of clove and stone mineral qualities. Dry, fine tannins, balanced, well made and ready to drink from 20203 through 2029. A wine that will continue to develop over the next 1-3 years.

Post pressing and settling the juice was run off to barrel (20% new American) for fermentation and MLF. The wine was left on lees for 9 months barrel maturation and lees contact. The barrels were emptied in January 2022, and the wine was fined, filtered, and bottled.
