Pale hazy yellow with a green tinge. Fascinating oily aromas of lime, white pepper and minerals. Supple, rich and intense in the mouth, but not as complex as the nose suggests.

Prestige Collection Chardonnay 2009
Big wine, mouth-filling in its flavours and nicely balanced as winemaker Rod McDonald does so well. A fine, well constructed Hawke’s Bay wines, true to style and certainly lets us know it is present. Ideal for robust dinner flavours – and as long a future as we want to give it.
