Elephant Hill Hawke's Bay Chardonnay 2024
Fantastic Chardonnay from a fantastic vintage.
"Chardonnay is our flagship white variety at Elephant Hill. Classic, fresh seaside Chardonnay with a small portion from our warmer inland Earth side adding richness. Racy and flavoursome with piercing citrus, underlying peachy ripe notes. Mouthwatering and concentrated, elegant and refined." Winery
"A delicious wine, taut and dry with core flavours of ripe grapefruit and white nectarine, there’s a sea-spray quality then flavours of mineral and stone, red apple and leesy complexities. Palate textures include a fine tannins and medium+ acidity which also frame the core fruit flavours of pomaceous and stone fruits. Well made, youthful and ready to drink from mid to late 2026 through 2033." Rated Excellent & 94/100 Cameron Douglas MS, September 2025
"Stylish and elegant, the wine shows ripe peach, rockmelon, nougat, and almond meal notes on the nose, followed by a beautifully weighted palate that's succulent and fleshy. Splendidly supported by bright acidity, finishing persistent and refined. At its best: now to 2030." 5 Stars & 93/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, August 2025
