The white wine Collaboration Wines Aurulent Chardonnay, vintage 2020 from the winery Collaboration Wines has been rated in 2022 by Anne Krebiehl with 93 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape variety Chardonnay from the region Hawkes Bay in New Zealand.
Apple, moss and cornmeal all meet on the earthy but fresh nose. There are notions of ripe apricot surrounded by lovely smokiness. These notions carry over onto the palate, where a lovely balance unites smooth texture, full fruit and fine freshness. This is sunny but fresh, rich and ripe but with a clear outline. The apple notions make a return on the long finish.
