Squawking Magpie Counting Crows Chardonnay 2021

Price: $44.99

AN ABSOLUTE CLASSIC

91/100 | Stephen Wong MW, The Real Review

Classic Hawke's Bay Chardonnay from one of the region's safest pair of hands. It ticks all the premium style boxes - rich mouth-feel, creamy oak and a lingering finish. 100% barrel fermented in a mix of new and old oak, it's all classic Hawke's Bay peach, citrus, brioche and oak spice on the nose. Those characters flow through to a sophisticated palate that builds generosity in the mouth. An absolute belter Chardonnay buy.

Tasting Notes

Stephen Wong MW writes "Showing an appropriate level of tertiary development for its age, this is a smartly made, traditional style of chardonnay with noticeably sweet, cinnamon oak tightly framing the fairly concentrated yellow stone fruit as nutty and toasty flavours start to take the lead on the finish. Although it has definitely moved into early maturity, it has the fine acidity and oak structure to continue mellowing for a few years yet."
