Te Rakau, Chardonnay, Hawke's Bay, New Zealand, 2016

A fresh, well balanced Chardonnay from New Zealand's North Island. There's a hint of butterscotch on the nose, and ripe citrus and stone fruit in the mouth with a vanilla and wood overtone and spicy finish. If you like oaky Chardonnays, then try this with roast chicken for a classic match made in heaven.
