Leveret Estate Reserve Chardonnay 2021, Hawke's Bay
A lifted bouquet of ripe stone fruits and apple, there’s a lees quality accentuated by oak and some malolactic influences highlighting a burnt butter-brazil-nut suggestions. Flavours of roasted stone-fruits and baked apple, citrus peel and nut fill the palate. Acidity and wood tannins follow framing the flavours and adding texture. Well made, dry, weighty, creamy and lengthy. A lovely example ready to drink from 2023 through 207+.
