Craggy Range Gimblett Gravels Vineyard Chardonnay 2022, Hawke’s Bay, NZD $44.95
Ripe, almost lush chardonnay with intense peach, nectarine and spicy oak flavours plus a seasoning of nutty yeast lees characters. The free-draining soils of the Gimblett Gravels were a valuable asset in the wet 2022 vintage. (Screwcap)
