Description: Fresh an lively palate of citrus and crisp nectarine, with a sweet lees character of almond and brioche. A wonderfully textured wine, with a good clean lime finish and a refreshingly long persistence
Details: This is gourmet wine, a stunning chablis-style chardonnay: pure, unoaked, concentrated citrus-and mineral fruit with a leafy lift. The long finish makes it a foodie star, and it’s served by Gordon Ramsay and US star chefs Joel Robuchon and Thomas Keller in their restaurants. But the Hatton team remain down to earth, says Lockett.
“They call every two weeks or so, usually a bit pissed.”
Producer: Hatton Estate – Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand
From soils especially rich in fossilised shellfish, this linear, comprehensive wine has enjoyed 15%
fermentation & ageing in old oak to deliver further complexity.
