The 2024 Babich Hawke’s Bay Chardonnay is a fresh New Zealand white showing lemon, white peach and nectarine with delicate floral notes, citrus zest and subtle mineral character.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied and finely textured, with bright acidity supporting citrus and stone fruit alongside gentle savoury and creamy notes. The finish is dry, clean and balanced.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for Chardonnay drinkers who enjoy fresh Hawke’s Bay whites with balanced fruit and texture. Best enjoyed over the next 3–5 years. Serve lightly chilled with seared scallops, roast chicken with lemon and thyme, grilled snapper or pumpkin and sage ravioli.
