Winemaker Notes

The 2023 Limeworks Chardonnay is a meticulously crafted wine from Limeworks Vineyard, located on Middle Road in Havelock North, Hawke’s Bay. The vineyard features loess over limestone soil and has vines aged between 12 and 35 years. The grapes were harvested on 25 March 2023 using a Braun machine. This barrel fermented Chardonnay benefits from a mix of new and older American and French oak barrels, contributing to its complex profile.

Tasting Notes

Colour: This vineyard always has a bit of colour: Pale gold in the glass at bottling, but will slowly deepen with time. Bouquet: Profound! A melange of vanilla, cream, sweet lemon, grapefruit, hazelnut, and subtle oak. Palate: Powerful! This is a big, rich Chardonnay. It has weight, sweet fruit, beautiful texture and length.

Cellaring

Already approachable, but will cellar happily into the medium term in a cool environment.

Food Matching

The oak ageing makes this wine an excellent match with full flavoured rich dishes, in particular poultry, pork, salmon and crayfish.

Suggested Wine List Description

A stylish Chardonnay, mouth-filling and smooth. Not heavy, but with great depth of flavour, it shows maturity balancing sweet citrus and grapefruit aromas with delicate oak and nut overtones. Everything lingers neatly on the finish.
