Alpha Domus Barrique Fermented Hawkes Bay Chardonnay 2009
This wine displays a delicate aroma of ripe mandarin, melon, citrus and jasmine. Hints of vanillin, biscuit and mineral characters add complexity. The palate is rich, with flavours of orange zest, ripe stonefruit and citrus. Barrel fermentation and lees stirring contributes vanillin, spice, cream and toasted almond notes.
Drinking at it's best now.
