New Alchemy owners, Cairn and Rebecca Coghill, have clearly maintained the integrity of this much adored brand with this 2023 release. Despite a challenging Hawke's Bay vintage, this chardonnay has recently picked up impressive accolades - a testament to the skilful winemaking and commitment to producing quality wines.
Produced from selectively hand-picked single vineyard fruit, this chardonnay explodes on the palate with creamy flavours in the classic lemon-brulee spectrum, some toasty oak complexity and a fresh line of acidity that counters the natural fruit weight of this powerhouse wine. A very subtle touch of flinty gunsmoke on the nose adds a modern touch but this robust release is all about the beauty of tour de force Hawke's Bay Chardonnay.
Tasting note
Cuisine Magazine: "Fresh and clean with aromas of grapefruit citrus, meadow blossoms and herbal spice on the nose. The palate is well weighted with positive oak characters supported by a nutty complexity. This example manages to be generous without being heavy with an impressive depth of flavour."
