Collaboration Wines Aurulent Chardonnay 2022, Hawke's Bay
Fantastic bouquet, classic Aurulent complexity with ripe stone fruit, a touch of cashew and lemon scents, layers of lees and soft brown barrel spices from barrel. The bouquet is full and elegant overall. On the palate a satin and raw silk touch with textures from acidity and barrel, lees and core fruit flavours that reflect the bouquet. Dry with plenty of weight and length. A very modern expression of Chardonnay with attention to detail, judicious use of oak, finesse and texture from the lees work, fine tannins and deliciously textured mouthfeel. No food needed, just enjoy. Best drinking from 2024 through 2030.
