Description
The Tiki Koro Hawke's Bay Chardonnay 2018 is a full-flavored Chardonnay with a delicate, pale straw green color. It exhibits a strong combination of Mendoza Chardonnay fruit, complex toasty oak and yeast lees along with subtle malolactic fermentation aromas. The palate is creamy and full-bodied, with flavors of citrus, apple, and pear, supported by a smoky oak background. The wine has a long, lingering finish. This wine was made from hand-harvested grapes that were fermented in 70% new French Oak Barriques with a specialty Chardonnay yeast. It then went through a full malolactic fermentation to add complexity to the palate. The Tiki Koro Hawke's Bay Chardonnay 2018 is a complex and elegant wine that is perfect for pairing with seafood, chicken, or pasta dishes. It is also a great wine to enjoy on its own.
