Villa Maria 'Keltern' Chardonnay 2021, Hawkes Bay

Another excellent example from the Villa Maria portfolio - a complex and focussed bouquet with aromas of fresh grapefruit and gun-flint mineral, fresh white peach and apple then lemon. Barrel spice and new wood aromas are almost as powerful as the fruit and youthful power in the bouquet. Taut, youthful, salivating, mineral, fruity and with some very fine oak present on the palate. As these flavours continue to unfold on the palate the acidity and new wood characters along with some fine tannins layer in structure and intensity. Fabulous wine and tasted over three days, I am confident you will be as excited by this expression as I have been. Best from late 2022 through 2029+.
