2024 Bilancia Chardonnay
The 2024 vintage was a classic Hawke’s Bay growing season; a warm, dry settled summer, followed by a gentle Autumn, which was a bonus after the interesting 2023.
The aim is to produce a wine that speaks of Chardonnay. It is a youthful wine, evenly structured with emphasis on a fresh, food-friendly style and balanced palate.
Stone-fruit and citrus on the nose and palate with texture, character, freshness and a line of acidity through the palate.
This wine is ready to drink on release and will continue to develop and fill out for 4 – 6 years.
Stephen Wong
93/100
"A silky-textured chardonnay with elegance and complexity, this has well-balanced flavours of stone-fruit, cashew butter, subtle vanilla and brioche which expand across the palate before finishing with some warming spice notes. Deliciously flavoursome and approachable already, this has a fairly broad window of drinkability with more nutty complexity to come."
