Everytime I drink different vintages of Chardonnay I enjoy the subtle changes the wine presents through the seasons and the winemakers influence that year. Tipping Point Hawkes Bay 2023. That summer or lack of was was a challenge for many vineyards in the mid to upper North Island. But this wine still presents with ripe stonefront, particularly nectarine, and some dried apricot and vanilla pod. It's quite luscious with rounded toastiness and the buttery bakery nuances that come with barrel maturation and battanage. Lovely texture and nice length, it's very easy drinking all at a fair price. One of many Constellation brands taking New Zealand wine to the world.
