Region: Hawke's Bay, New Zealand
Grape Variety: Chadonnay
Rating:  WE 93
 
Highlights / Critic Review:
Hand-harvested. New and seasoned French oak barrels for fermentation. The resulting wines remained in contact with their yeast lees, with a number going through malolactic fermentation.
 
Tasting Notes:
Lemon-gold in colour. Immediate aromas of lime blossom, fresh golden nectarine, creamy nougat and delicate meadow flowers. Freshness and ripe acidity shine in a palate laden with peach, citrus, pineapple, and oyster shell highlights. With texture, depth and stunning brightness of fruit, Elston Chardonnay ’20 has a clarity and focus that radiates right through its long and luminous finish.
