Rod McDonald Quarter Acre Chardonnay 2015 (Hawke’s Bay)
Lifted, smoky gunflint scents set up what is a funky ride. This is fascinating wine, driven by minerally acidity and offering up crisp, concentrated lime and Meyer lemon notes.
Tight, racy and youthful, it will reward time in the cellar and will marry well with any seafood, but especially fresh kina.
