WINE REVIEW
Made from Burgundy clones from two of Hush Heath’s vineyards, this is an unoaked Chardonnay that boasts crisp fruit and tingling mineral notes.
The nose on this Skye’s Chardonnay is fragrantly appealing with peach and nectarine skin, ripe pear and citrus aromas.
What I enjoyed about this wine when it opened up was its clarity. It’s not as bold as some of the other examples here, but there’s something in its understated white peach, crisp green apple, tingling citrus and mineral finish that keeps you coming back.
