2007 White Label Hawkes Bay Chardonnay
Tasting Note
Morton Estate's best known chardonnay which has consistently received accolades both in New Zealand and overseas.

Fermented and lees-aged in French oak barriques, the 2007 vintage is light straw in colour exhibiting stone fruit and citrus with a creamy biscuit note.

The palate is well rounded with persistent flavours giving great structure and length. The stone and citrus fruits intermingle with background oak and biscuit, buttery characters to give intensity and fullness to the
mouth feel.

Exquisite when matched with fish, pork or poultry.
