Overview:
Hunter's Chardonnay is a rich and rounded wine that showcases the vibrant characters of white stone fruits like peach and nectarine. The natural acidity enhances the fruit, while subtle French oak maturation adds complexity and a fresh, lingering finish. This Chardonnay offers a perfect balance of bright fruit and fine oak integration, creating a wine that is both approachable now and capable of evolving over the next 5-7 years.
Tasting Notes:
The nose is a complex blend of grapefruit, citrus, and delicate white peach, underscored by a flinty minerality. On the palate, bright stone fruit flavours of peach and nectarine unfold, complemented by a hint of toasted hazelnuts. The toasty oak integration adds depth and a silky texture, enhancing the wine's structure and richness. The balance of fresh fruit, acidity, and oak creates a harmonious wine with a smooth, lingering finish, making it ideal for both immediate enjoyment and future cellaring.
