Structure: medium-bodied, low tannin, medium acidity, dry
A straightforward, approachable Hawke's Bay Chardonnay with stone fruit and peach at its core, supported by gentle oak and a creamy texture. The warm Hawke's Bay climate lends natural ripeness, while the 'Classic' label suggests a lightly oaked, easy-drinking style rather than a heavily buttery or barrel-aged expression. It's a crowd-pleasing white that pairs comfortably with everyday food.
