Marked by hints of struck flint on the nose, the 2017 Single Vineyard Keltern Vineyard Chardonnay is tight and zesty, marked by lemon-lime notes and a strong acid spine. It's medium-bodied, with hints of toasted cedar and lemon custard on the palate and a long, lingering finish. It should be relatively long-lived for Hawke's Bay Chardonnay, capable of evolving for 4-5 years at least.
