Coopers Creek Select Vineyards Limeworks Hawkes Bay Chardonnay 2021
- American oak
- Grapefruit
- Citrus & nut
- Lingering finish
"This is immediately appealing on the nose with apricot, fig, vanilla, roasted cashew and oatmeal notes, leading to a flavoursome palate offering juicy fruit flavours with supple texture, finishing lingering and delectable. At its best: now to 2026" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Feb 2023
"Deep straw with golden hues lead to a bouquet of toasted stone fruits and barrel spices, there’s a fine mineral chalk-like quality adding complexity and finesse. Aromas of a complete wine. Plenty of classic flavours and textures on the palate with a roasted nut and baked stone fruits attack, vanilla and burnt butter, a touch of clove and stone mineral qualities. Dry, fine tannins, balanced, well made and ready to drink from 20203 through 2029. A wine that will continue to develop over the next 1-3 years" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Mar 2023
A stylish Chardonnay, mouth-filling, and, smooth. Not heavy, but with great depth of flavour, it shows maturity balancing sweet citrus and grapefruit aromas with delicate oak and nut overtones. Everything lingers neatly on the finish.
This chardonnay was crafted from the excellent 2021 Hawkes Bay harvest. After a dry warm growing season we harvested the perfectly ripened fruit off our Limeworks Vineyard.
Post pressing and settling the juice was run off to barrel (20% new American) for fermentation and MLF. The wine was left on lees for 9 months barrel maturation and lees contact. The barrels were emptied in January 2022, and the wine was fined, filtered, and bottled.
Food Pairing: The oak ageing makes this wine an excellent match with full flavoured rich dishes, in particular poultry, pork, salmon and crayfish.
