Description:
"One of New Zealand’s most illustrious Chardonnays, Elston is a stylish, intense, slowly evolving Hawke’s Bay wine. At around four years old, it is notably complete, showing concentration and finesse. The grapes are grown principally at two sites in the Te Mata hills at Havelock North, and the wine is fully fermented in French oak barriques (35 percent new), with full malolactic fermentation. The 2007 vintage is typically opulent and rich with concentrated, ripe stone-fruit fl avours, a hint of butterscotch and good supporting acidity. 5 stars. SUPER CLASSIC" - Michael Cooper’s Buyer's Guide to NZ Wines 2009 This is the flagship white and, as befits a wine of such status, it doesn’t disappoint, displaying very fine Burgundian-like
malty aromas and an equally fine creamy palate. It has a mealy texture with seamless oak integration and a balancing mineral grip on a long finish. Cellar 3-4 years. Outstanding" - Len Sorbello, Winewise |
