Awakohu Chardonnay 2024 (12x750ml)

This new vintage is sure to impress chardonnay buyers looking for an affordable, generous option with creamy complexity and easy drinking charm. Maturation in French oak has added extra texture to a wine that brims with stonefruit, lemon meringue and lime zest aromas and a palate that showcases those flavours with surprising sophistication.  

If you're looking for a well-made, well-priced example of medium-weight, oak-aged Hawke's Bay Chardonnay, you'll go a long way to find a better option than this.

Tasting note

Sam Kim, Wine Orbit: "This is delightfully expressed on the nose, showing golden peach, rockmelon, vanilla, and almond meal characters, followed by a flavoursome palate offering a creamy texture and beautifully pitched acidity. It's wonderfully harmonious with complexity, making it delectably appealing."
