Te Mata Estate
Elston Chardonnay
Hawkes Bay, North Island, New Zealand
Sulphidic notes diminishing. A great combination of citrus and stone fruit plus some grilled nuts in the aromatics. The palate shows those same fruit characteristics with M minus acid and M plus palate intensity. A good Chardonnay from Hawkes Bay, better known for its Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. This is good but I prefer their Reds. Bought at the winery in January 2016 where we were lucky to meet the owner John Buck.

Apr 30th, 2023Funky leesy sulphidic Notes. On the palate flavours of Pineapple Juice with a Saline note. Profound intensity Medium plus acid with a good future - up to 2025. Great match with Sheeps cheese as an aperitif.

Jun 27th, 2016Beautifully balanced, with supportive oak that doesn't overwhelm. Cleansing acid and good fruit. Should age very well.
