Seven Terraces Oaked Chardonnay 2024

Hawkes Bay, North Island, New ZealandHawke's Bay is the spiritual home of Kiwi chardonnay, but the variety has long been cast in the shadow of Marlborough sauvignon blanc. What you may not know is that the freshness and cool Kiwi climate are the perfect buffers for chardonnay that ripens with a full stone fruit profile, and in this case, lined with oak. I found it all to be in balance, and for chardonnay lovers, this is a bargain. From lemon zest and ripe pear to vanilla, a touch of honey, and saline minerality. Crab cakes, anyone?
