AC Reserve Chardonnay 2023, Hawke's Bay

Complex and very attractive bouquet filled with scents of ripe stone fruits and barrel spices, wood smoke and youthful energy. Full-bodied on the palate with a raw energy and impact from oak and fruit flavours, tannins and phenolics from barrel and fruit skin contact. Acidity accentuates the vanilla and clove qualities form the wood as well as the youthful sensory impacts. A wine that is excellent now, yet will be even better once it settles into the rhythm of ageing and harmony, with this in mind the best drinking window should be 2026 through 2030+.
