TASTING NOTE: The fruit for this wine was grown in two vineyards in the Dartmoor region of Hawkes Bay. The two different Chardonnay grape clones used add to the wine's complexity: ripe peach, lemon and toasty oak are wrapped in a round, creamy texture and the finish is subtly smoky. Enjoy with pan-fried fish or roast chicken. (Vintages panel, May 2017) Price $ 15.95
