Zaria Chardonnay 2024
Hawkes Bay, New Zealand
FIVE STARS 95/100 | Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
93/100 'Excellent' | Cameron Douglas MS
Zaria are a boutique Hawke's Bay producer with winemaker Bryce Edmonds at the helm. They take a minimal intervention approach to winemaking and their latest releases are vibrant, flavour-packed renditions of classic Hawke's Bay wines.
Their 2024 chardonnay is vinted from premium fruit from their Lesley's Vineyard block. Stonefruit and citrus notes dominate the palate, with secondary brioche characters playing a supporting role. The new oak makes an appearance, but it doesn't take over. Drinking well now but give it a few years in the cellar and those characters will develop further. Highly recommended.

Tasting Notes
Cameron Douglas MS writes "Deepening golden hues lead to a bouquet of fullness and style, roasted Brazil nut and baked stone fruits with a dried grapefruit peel quality. Full-bodied and dry on the palate with flavours of peach and nectarine, baked pineapple and baking spices. There’s mild stony earth quality, then textures from fruit and wood tannins, medium+ acid line and a lengthy persistent finish."
Sam Kim, Wine Orbit writes "Gorgeously styled and expressed, the inviting bouquet shows apricot, rockmelon, lemon zest, vanilla, and roasted hazelnut aromas. The palate is wonderfully weighted and plush, superbly framed by bright acidity, making it opulent yet with finesse and poise. At its best: now to 2032."
