Tasting Notes
Hesketh Lost Weekend Chardonnay 2022
- Appearance: Brilliant pale straw with delicate lime-green tints.
- Aroma: A highly expressive and lifted nose featuring bright aromas of lime leaf, honeydew melon, and fresh cumquat, layered with subtle, complex undertones of buttered toast and burnt honeycomb.
- Palate: Vibrant and medium-bodied. Upfront flavours of juicy nectarine, fresh lemon zest and crisp white peach are beautifully balanced by a refined, racy acidity.
- Finish: A beautifully rounded and creamy finish highlighted by delicate notes of warm brioche, biscotti and a touch of soft oak nuance that lingers pleasantly on the palate.
Whitecap Lager
- Profile: Clear, bright golden pour with a smooth, white head. It delivers a meticulously clean, crisp taste with a subtly bitter hop profile and a completely refreshing, dry finish that resets the palate perfectly.

It also pairs gorgeously with creamy pasta dishes, roast chicken with thyme, and aged cheeses.
