Esk Valley Hawke's Bay Chardonnay 2022

Delight in the essence of the Esk Valley Hawkes Bay Chardonnay, a true reflection of the region's diverse terroir and meticulous winemaking techniques. Sourced from vineyards spanning Bay View to the cooler river terraces above the Ngaruroro River, this wine embodies a harmonious blend of ripe stonefruit, zesty grapefruit, and subtle oak spice. Careful vineyard practices such as shoot thinning and bunch thinning ensure optimal fruit quality. Harvested separately and fermented in tank and French oak barriques, with a touch of malolactic fermentation for added richness, this Chardonnay is then aged on its yeast lees until blending. The result is a medium-bodied and elegant wine, brimming with complexity and deliciousness, inviting you to savour each sip and appreciate the artistry behind every bottle.
