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.
