Description
The 8th consecutive Collaboration Chardonnay and possibly the most complex yet. We identified Tim Turvey and his Clearview Estate as the perfect partner for our Chardonnay. His vineyards renowned for their generously flavoured, consistently ripe fruit and higher natural acid levels from the cooler night-time breezes on the Te Awanga Coast. Each January we travel to Clearview and partake in a blending session with Tim and winemaker Matt, tasting many separate components with varying degrees of oak, malolactic ferment, lees stirring, plus a pure fruit component. The objective... blend a Chardonnay with generous Hawkes Bay stone fruit, rounded toasty oak, creamy lees inspired texture/richness, buttery/nutty elements and a freshness on the finish that repeatedly draws you back to the glass.
Smells
Ripe golden peach, nectarine, a hint of grapefruit and enticing toasty oak characters.
Tastes
You’ll find the flavour concentration impressive, the stone fruit pure, the toasty oak and nutty/buttery lees characters seductive, and the trademark freshness on the finish more-ish. It exponentially improves throughout the next 12-months and you always wish you’d bought more... enjoy through 2024.
We taste, rate & guarantee every wine we sell.
