Villa Maria Reserve Chardonnay Hawkes Bay – 2016
CHF 24.90
The Hawkes Bay region on the east coast of New Zealand’s North Island is sunnier and warmer than Marlborough and most famous for its tropical-fruited Chardonnays as well as Bordeaux-style reds. This is similar in some ways to Margaret River in West Australia, although here the wines are cooler and have fresher acidity and lighter body.
In
its
youth,
this
concentrated
wine
is
pale
in
the
glass
and
displays
aromas
of
white-fleshed
stone
fruit,
flowers,
biscuit
and
hazelnut.
Intricate
barrel
fermentation
influences
meld
with
stone
fruit
and
acidity
on
the
palate,
forming
a
refined
marriage
of
style
and
length.
