Description
96/100 FWD Tasting Panel, I was on the panel at the time, and we were all blown away by the purity, concentration, structure, texture, energy and balance of this gorgeous 2024 Beachhead Chardonnay. I took the tasting sample home to Virginia; she was equally excited! Clearview’s Te Awanga vineyard enjoys the heat of the Gimblett Gravel’s… perfectly counterbalanced with cool nighttime sea breezes. Deliciously ripe fruit with excellent purity and higher natural acidity result. Chief winemaker Matt Kirby can use the full suite of winemaking… barrel fermentation & maturation, lees stirring and malolatic fermentation… combining richness and complexity with the freshness of natural acidity. The fruit from 2024 is so good… the purity, energy and saline freshness are in perfect union with the winemaking complexities. Exceptional Chardonnay, exceptionally delicious, and exceptional with food! Selected for Fine Wine Delivery’s Annual Chardonnay Showcase Top 20… it was an easy decision! It’s built to peak around 7-10 years in proper storage if you have it. Try keeping your hands off it that long… almost impossible!
Smells
Warm stone fruit, roasted fennel, sea salt and oyster shell notes with a dash of baking spice and vanilla toasty oak.
Tastes
Abundant peach, nectarine, and nashi pear flavours supported by a lovely mineral vein, subtle, salted black liquorice, oyster shells and a preserved lemon finish. Good persistence throughout with a creamy viscosity and a lingering, saline finish. Excellent harmony of fruit and vanilla tinged toasty oak. A wonderful drinking Chardonnay now through 2030-32. Serve with fresh seafood or white meats. The recommended serving temperature is 10-12 degrees.
