Paritua Willow Chardonnay 2021
Hawkes Bay, New Zealand
FIVE STARS 95/100 | Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
An excellent example of modern Hawke's Bay Chardonnay from winemaker Jason Stent and his Paritua team. This is 100% barrel fermented wine with powerful fruit weight influenced by a mix of new and seasoned oak. It is perfectly pitched with fruit power and underlying drive but the focus is on fruit not the oak component. 50% malo ferment adds just the right amount of creamy texture and palate weight. Recommended.

Tasting Notes
Sam Kim writes "Gorgeously complex and enticing, the wine shows white flesh nectarine, nougat, lemon peel, brioche and roasted hazelnut characters. It's wonderfully weighted and richly textured in the mouth delivering succulent fruit intensity together with silky texture and bright acidity. Sophisticated and refined."
