Squawking Magpie 'Gravels' Chardonnay 2024, Hawke's Bay

Complex, ripe, fresh, pure fruited and complex. A bouquet of precision and style with aromas and flavours of sweet grapefruit and peach, ripe red apple and barrel spice layers. On the palate a dry, fuller-bodied expression with a taut mouthfeel that relaxes into the core fruit flavours of stone fruit then citrus. The oak adds its own sweetness and warming alcohol along with acidity binds all the attributes into one. A wine that is still developing so no rush with best drinking from late 2026 through 2030+.
