Aromas and flavours of fresh white fleshed stone fruits and sweet citrus, pear and apple then layers of leesy vanilla and mineral complexities. Dry with a medium+ weighted mouthfeel, satin textures with contrasting acid line and core flavours of stone and citrus fruits. Balanced and well made with medium+ length and complexity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93 Points, Wine Pilot\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-widget_type=\"theme-post-content.default\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-id=\"d9274ec\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d9274ec elementor-widget elementor-widget-theme-post-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrom the Estate’s Gimblett Gravels vineyard at Hawke’s Bay, this is a rather muscular style of Chardonnay, with a serious future. Thoroughly enjoyable drinking. Lemon\/yellow in colour, this is very much a youthful Chardonnay with notes of grapefruit, stone fruits, florals, spices, peaches and a chalky backing. This is poised and powerful, with early complexity already evident. We have good focus and seemingly boundless energy, all with impressive length. Worth putting a case or two in the cellar for up to a decade to see the wine in all its coming glory.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","brand":"Craggy Range Winery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47649817067756,"sku":"$59.99 x 6","price":359.94,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0497\/1213\/6359\/files\/CraggyRange-GimblettGravelsChardonnay-BTL.png?v=1779304396","url":"https:\/\/lifford.com\/products\/gimblett-gravels-chardonnay","provider":"Lifford","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
