Red Hut New Zealand Hawkes Bay Chardonnay

Red Hut New Zealand Hawkes Bay Chardonnay. Chardonnay, which covers everything from lean and flinty to rich and buttery.

Think stone fruit and citrus, with however much oak the maker wanted to show. Winemakers decide the style here more than the vineyard does, which is why no two Chardonnays taste alike.

Most are made to drink now, though the better ones hold for a few years. Good with roast chicken, soft cheese or anything off the barbecue.
