Smokehouse Bay Hawkes Bay Reserve Chardonnay 2008

This Reserve Hawkes Bay Chardonnay shows gentle aromas of peach & melon which great the taster first joined quickly by a hint of oak. The palate is mouth filling with a creamy texture & very good length. Sweet fruited, fresh & rich

When we are offered small parcels of wine we often consult with Peter Saunders, long time wine critic, and author of 25 editions of A guide to New Zealand wine. His thoughts are: "Versatile wine. Nicely fresh, evolving towards some richness with bottle-age. Light oak condiments add well to the texture and the wine is ready to work perfectly with a sliced bread-stick served with pate or dip"
