Mills Reef Estate Hawke’s Bay Chardonnay 2023

$19.99 inc GST

This intensely aromatic wine showcases aromas and flavours of lime, mango, rock melon, with a hint of ginger spice and stone fruits, supported with deft toasty oak and subtle minerality. Medium-bodied and silky smooth, this delightful wine is enjoyable on its own, or pair beautifully with prawn dumplings or a risotto dish.

    Vineyards and Winemaking

    The grapes for this fine wine were selected from our Estate owned vineyards across Hawkes Bay. The weather over the growing season was challenging, with cool summer conditions followed by the arrival of Cyclone Gabrielle in February. However, with astute vineyard management combined with precise picking decisions the fruit was harvested in selected parcels from the 20th of March to the 29th March, in healthy condition.

    The juice was fermented to wine in a stainless-steel tank, then put to maturation for twelve months, with a small portion treated to 10% new French oak seasoning. The final wine blend was then treated to a light fining and filtering before being bottled under screwcap on the 12th of June 2023.
