Tahuna Reserve Chardonnay 2023, Hawkes Bay
Yellow with golden hues lead to a bouquet of peaches and creamy vanilla scents, pineapple and banana then wood spice and a touch of stony earth-smoke. On the palate a wine with a satin-cream touch then contrasting acid line, flavours of peach and apple, there’s a lactic yoghurt quality then vanilla and a touch of lees . Textured, balanced and well made with best drinking from day of purchase through 2029.
