Huia Chardonnay presents a radiant golden hue, shimmering with clarity. Upon nosing, it offers a delightful bouquet of fragrances, including succulent cantaloupe, creamy crème anglaise, and tantalizing Bomboloni. Grilled grapefruit adds a zesty twist, while notes of lilies and apple crumble evoke a sense of comfort. The aroma is further enriched by hints of cinnamon, star anise, and roasted hazelnuts, with a subtle touch of fennel and grilled corn cob.
Upon sipping, the wine reveals its complexity with mouthwatering acidity and vibrant flavours of grilled grapefruit, crisp red apple, and luscious honeydew melon. Fresh figs and roasted chestnuts provide depth, while delicate undertones of elderflower and chamomile impart a graceful elegance. The texture is softly textural, leading to a bright and lively finish that lingers on the palate, leaving a lasting impression of finesse and balance.
