Delta Estate Hatters Hill Chardonnay 2022

Pale gold with green reflections, this Chardonnay opens with aromas of white peach, citrus blossom, and crisp apple, complemented by subtle notes of hazelnut and brioche from well-judged oak. The palate is fresh yet textured, balancing vibrant citrus and stone fruit flavours with a creamy mid-palate. A fine mineral thread and bright acidity carry through to a long, elegant finish, giving the wine both complexity for food matches but a lightness of touch that means that it can be enjoyed by the glass too!
