Elephant Hill Sea Chardonnay 2023

Hawke's Bay,New Zealand

5 stars / 94pts 

Light gold in colour, with aromas of ripe peach, lemon curd, and roasted hazelnut. Rich and warmly buttery, with notes of baked apple, nutmeg, and clove, and a subtle struck-flint edge. The palate is full, soft and satisfying, layered with ripe stone fruit and a deep, leesy creaminess wrapped around a savoury nutty core. Vanilla pod and toasted spice seamlessly integrate, with a chalky texture. Fresh acidity balances the richness, carrying a long, floral, orange-blossom spiced finish. Fine, elegant and delicious – enjoy now 2030+.
