Showing plenty of toasty oak, Te Awa's 2007 Chardonnay is at the same time surprisingly medium-bodied, with refined citrusy aromas and flavors at its core, cosseted by layers of vanilla and coconut. Try it with scallops or lobster, and let the long,... Wine Enthusiast. A Chardonnay wine from Hawkes Bay in New Zealand. 2007 Te Awa Chardonnay 750ml

Winemaker's Notes:

This is high impact Chardonnay. Ripe stone fruit oozes summer flavour, reminiscent of golden queen peaches, groaning on the tree at the end of summer. Enter the magical effect of well seasoned barrels; almost magnifying the fruit, yet enhancing it at the same time with vanilla and clove spice. A dusting of cinnamon, like a milky cappuccino, completes the effect. The palate matches the poached fruit opulence of the nose. This wine runs the risk of being top heavy, but it cleverly saves itself. Under-lying structural integrity, from fruit tannin and acidity, ensure a rock solid foundation for the embellishments on top. Like a magnificent clipper full of sail, loaded with a cargo of produce from tropical climes. Tightly rigged, as it embraces a trade wind, but perfectly balanced as it heads to market.
