2023 Obliix Chardonnay, Hawkes Bay

On the Nose: Rich and complex, with pronounced aromas of ripe stone fruits such as peach and hint of sauteed butter. Touch of spice like clove or nutmeg.
On the Palate: The palate is medium bodied and creamy, with a smooth, luxurious texture that expresses a balanced acidity that lifts the rich fruit flavors and provides a fresh, vibrant character.

This Chardonnay showcases a harmonious balance of fruit, oak, and acidity, with the barrel fermentation adding layers of complexity and richness. It’s a well-structured wine with a luxurious mouthfeel and a crowd-pleasing finish.
