MUTU Chardonnay 2021

Mutu Reserve Chardonnay 2021 – Global Decanter Platinum Award Winner

The Mutu Reserve Chardonnay 2021 is a shining example of Hawke’s Bay’s exceptional winemaking. Recently awarded the rare and prestigious Global Decanter Platinum Award, it stands as one of only two New Zealand wines to achieve this remarkable recognition from over 18,000 entries. Less than 1% of all wines are granted this honor, making it a truly exclusive gem.

This full-bodied, creamy, and toasty Chardonnay bursts with rich flavors of ripe stone fruits, grapefruit peel, and hints of vanilla and Brazil nut wood. The bouquet is a captivating mix of baked nuts, roasted peaches, fresh nectarine, and Brazil-nut butter, with a hint of earthy, dry stone qualities that complement its youthful freshness.

The wine showcases a luxurious satin texture, complemented by a fine tannin structure and a medium acid line that adds balance and elegance. On the palate, the bold, creamy richness combines with a succulent acidity, leading to a long, moreish finish.

Best enjoyed from 2023 to 2029, the Mutu Reserve Chardonnay is a must-try for any wine lover seeking a high-quality, award-winning expression of Hawke’s Bay.
