Huntress - Chardonnay 2023

The Huntress Chardonnay 2023 from the Mangatahi Terraces in Hawke's Bay is a unique and expressive wine by Jannine Rickards, renowned for her ability to craft wines with bold character and depth. This Chardonnay exudes layers of ripe peach, green apple, kumquat, and hints of ginger. Aged in French oak and undergoing partial malolactic fermentation, it has a creamy texture balanced by vibrant acidity and a refined mineral structure.

This Chardonnay has complexity in spades, evolving with notes of citrus and white spice as it opens in the glass. Its rounded mouthfeel and lingering finish make it ideal for pairing with a variety of foods, from seafood to roasted chicken
