If you like toasty, creamy, full-flavoured Chardonnays, try this. Grown in the Havelock North hills, the 2019 vintage (4*) was fermented and matured for 11 months in American oak casks (20 per cent new). It has a fragrant, buttery bouquet, leading into a mouthfilling, sweet-fruited wine with ripe stone-fruit and toasty oak flavours, fresh, crisp and youthful. Best drinking mid-2022+.
