Babich Hawke's Bay Chardonnay 2023

Hawkes Bay, North Island, New ZealandNew Zealand wine has a secret, and it's chardonnay. At Babich, they forsake oak to release a lively, bright, electric version of the world's best selling white. The wine opens with a strong pear scent with hints of brown spice. The palate is creamy but fresh, with lemon notes, pear, and cantaloupe. It's a juicy pour with nectarine in a dry finish. A perfect summer chardonnay for halibut or grilled chicken. Excellent valueTasted: 17 April 2025Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
