"This 2022 DELTA ‘Hatters Hill’ Chardonnay has a pale straw colour, and lime glow filling your glass. On the nose you are invited by lifted aromas of green melon, white peaches and a vanilla cream pastry note. The palate has a medium to full engagement, celebrating those ripe white peaches and defined biscotti nuances from diligent time in French oak. All nicely presented with good honest fruit acidity giving this layered character wine an elegance and balance to a classic dry finish."
