Matahiwi Estate Holly Chardonnay 2022, Hawke's Bay
Complex and new with a flinty mineral beginning then scents of fresh white peach and red apple, layers of stone and mineral are followed by barrel spices of vanilla and raw sugar moments with a whisper of toasty wood. Flavours are mirrored on the palate, a taut and youthful expression too with the acidity and mineral qualities offering contrast and appeal. A wine that needs some cellar time to integrate more and find its best balance. Well made with best drinking from late 2024 through 2029.
