Falconhead Hawke's Bay Chardonnay 2018
- Toasty oak
- Ripe peach
- Vanilla & hazelnut
- Roasted nut
Melon, citrus and roasted nut aromas, with delightful complexity. The palate is medium bodied with beautiful texture. Ripe peach, vanilla and hazelnut flavours are complemented by the toasty oak. This wine is drinking well now but can be cellared for up to 5 years.
The grapes for this wine were sourced from three of Falconhead's Hawke’s Bay vineyards – Riverview, Tantallon, and Kinross.
This wine was blended from several batches, some of which were fermented in stainless steel and then transferred to barrel; others were barrel fermented. In each case, the grapes were machine harvested and taken to the Riverview winery in Hawke’s Bay where they were pressed and the juice transferred to barrel or tank and inoculated with a variety of yeasts including X16 and Prise de Mousse. Approximately 80% of the wine was subject to malolactic fermentation. Following barrel maturation, the wine was tankered to the Katikati Winery for final finishing and bottling.
