ME by Matahiwi Chardonnay 2022

Flavours of fresh peach and apple salad, some grapefruit and a mix of white and brown baking spice, a touch of lees and wood and quietly spoken barrel smoke. Satin-smooth on the palate with a core of ripe fruits and contrasting acid line. Youthful, a touch piquant showcasing a touch of lemon, balanced and well made overall with best drinking from 2023 through 2026. Premium. Score – 91. (camdouglasms.com, March 9, 2023)
