Mills Reef Elspeth Gimblett Gravels Hawke's Bay Chardonnay 2015

Tasting: Hawkes Bay - November/December 2018

Region: Hawke's Bay

Year: 2015

Price: $40.00

Review/Comments
Delicious now, but still developing, this rich, pale straw wine was fermented and matured for 10 months in French oak hogsheads (46% new). Mouthfilling, it is weighty and sweet-fruited, with concentrated stonefruit and toasty oak flavours to the fore, and mealy, buttery notes adding excellent complexity. Best drinking 2019+. $40
