Askerne Reserve Chardonnay 2024, Hawke's Bay

Excellent bouquet filled with scents of ripe yellow and white stone fruits, citrus and layers of barrel spices and some wood smoke. Lots of purity and freshness. Dry, weighty, taut and satin-smooth as the wine touches the palate. Flavours of citrus then apple, peach then baking spices, smoky wood tones and crumbled earth and stone suggestions. There’s a fine flinty layer adding complexity as well as intrigue. Lengthy and quite delicious with best drinking from 2026 through 2030+.
