Askerne Reserve Hawke's Bay Chardonnay (2020)

The powerful, youthful 2020 vintage (4.5*) was fermented and matured in French oak barrels (40 per cent new). Weighty, it has rich, ripe stone-fruit flavours, well seasoned with nutty oak, in a concentrated, very age-worthy style with a fragrant, complex bouquet. Best drinking mid-2023+.
