Babich Irongate Chardonnay 2024
Only
$35.00
Commercial description
Irongate Chardonnay is grown in our flagship Irongate Vineyard in the Gimblett Gravels appellation of Hawke’s Bay. From origins in 1985 as a secret experiment in barrel fermentation, this wine now represents the very best of our craft. The vines are pre-selected early in the season at pruning, and crop levels are closely monitored. The result is a limited release wine that is built to last, with spectacular varietal and regional flavours.
Tasting Notes:
Peach, cashew and lemon aromas with pastry/biscuit notes. Touch of oak. Fresh and refined.
Complex and evolving - initially peach and cashew on entry followed by apple, melon and oaty notes. Mineral and citrus can also be found. Nicely concentrated and elegant.
Alc 14%
