Craggy Range Chardonnay Gimblett Gravels Vineyard 2019 (Hawke’s Bay)

One of the most subtle chardonnays in the top ten. Lean and lithe but very much alive and made with a great deal of finesse. A profile that is awash with apricot stone, citrus, melon and delightful nutty, brioche notes. Very smart. Very elegant.
