Alchemy Chardonnay 2023
Hawkes Bay, New Zealand
GOLD MEDAL & RANKED #6 NEW ZEALAND CHARDONNAY | Dish Magazine
FIVE STARS | Cuisine Magazine
New Alchemy owners, Cairn and Rebecca Coghill, have clearly maintaned the integrity of this much adored brand with this 2023 release. Despite a challenging Hawke's Bay vintage, this chardonnay has recently picked up impressive accolades - a testament to the skillful winemaking and commitment to producing quality wines.
Produced from selectively hand-picked single vineyard fruit, this chardonnay explodes on the palate with creamy flavours in the classic lemon-brulee spectrum, some toasty oak complexity and a fresh line of acidity that counters the natural fruit weight of this powerhouse wine. A very subtle touch of flinty gunsmoke on the nose adds a modern touch but this robust release is all about the beauty of tour de force Hawke's Bay Chardonnay.

Tasting Notes
Cuisine Magazine writes "Fresh and clean with aromas of grapefruit citrus, meadow blossoms and herbal spice on the nose. The palate is well weighted with positive oak characters supported by a nutty complexity. This example manages to be generous without being heavy with an impressive depth of flavour."
Dish Magazine writes "Roaring with smoked stonefruit and gun-barrel notes around a sweet citrus core, this super tasty chardonnay has been made with care and attention. Fresh, biscuity oak and lovely hazlenutty complexity combine with ballerina-like balance on the palate to create a delicious experience."
The winery writes "The Alchemy 2023 Chardonnay was created from selectively hand-picked fruit. It was whole bunch pressed to French oak barrels for fermentation and aging on lees for 9 months. Notes of white flesh nectarine delicately intertwine with the fragrance of honeysuckle, lively lemon zest and lime curd. Underlying flinty nuances interplay with the subtle complexity of sweet savoury oak spice. Juicy and concentrated, the palate is beautifully balanced, with creamy layers and a deliciously long finish."
