Guardians Chardonnay 2021

Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand

5 stars / 94pts 

A captivating nose of melon, peach and ripe apple, interwoven with warm butter and a touch of raw, salted pastry. The palate is full and creamy, supported by a brisk yet broad acidity that coats the mouth in a tide of toasty vanilla bean and ripe stone fruit flavours. The finish is textural, marked by a dusting of chalky minerality harmoniously integrated with subtle toasty oak. This fresh and deeply satisfying Chardonnay offers an accessible taste of luxury, drinking beautifully now to 2028.
