Te Mata Elston Chardonnay 2022 offers a clear expression of its New Zealand origins. Crafted from Chardonnay grapes, it showcases a balanced profile with notes of citrus and stone fruit, complemented by subtle oak influence. Te Mata Estate, established in 1896, is one of New Zealand`s oldest wineries, known for its traditional methodologies alongside modern practices. This wine is suitable for pairing with seafood and poultry.

The 2022 Elston Chardonnay is mineral and taut in the mouth, with a fleshy pillow of fruit draped over it. It is ripe and soft, but the acidity is tense and salty. There is a lightness of touch here, which is very attractive. There are white flowers, yellow/cream-colored fruit and pretty orchard inflections through the finish. There`s a really nice flavor draw across the palate and through the finish. 13.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap. - Erin Larkin

The 2022 Chardonnay Elston starts as an open, sweetly fruited style. Its 30% new French oak gives a note of char and clove while autolysis-derived almond croissant nuances emerge. The mid-palate feels a bit jumbled right now, and that might be down to its youth. There's plenty of tangy citrus acidity on the finish, perhaps a reflection of the influence of the Mendoza clone and a portion of the wine that hasn't undergone malolactic fermentation.
