Coopers Creek 'Limeworks' Chardonnay 2023, Hawkes Bay

Golden hues lead to a bouquet of creaminess and style, aromas of baked peaches and nectarines, apples and grapefruit. There’s layers of wood smoke and spice leading to a familiar scents of nut and burnt bitter. Full-bodied and creamy in texture, a wine that ticks the boxes of weight and mouthfeel that so many Chardonnay drinks look for. A decent acid line with all the flavours that the bouquet suggests, a texture from fine tannins which emerges as the wine layers up on the palate. Best drinking from day of purchase through 2028.
