The palate is full-bodied yet finely etched, flowing with baked apple, quince and citrus framed by a coarse-silk texture and judicious oak integration. A seam of fresh, saline acidity drives a long, creamy and beautifully composed finish that promises further complexity with cellaring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWinery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Church Road\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVarietal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chardonnay\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2020\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlcohol:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13.5%\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVolume:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOther:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gluten-free; Sustainable winegrowing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCraftsmanship \u0026amp; Story\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEstablished in 1897, Church Road stands among New Zealand’s most historic wineries, its modern reputation shaped by pioneering winemaker Tom McDonald.
