Description

- Apricot & melon
- Nougat & spice
- Soft finish
"It's elegantly fragrant on the nose showing apricot, fig, nougat and roasted cashew notes, leading to a succulent palate offering beautifully rounded mouthfeel and fine texture. Bright acidity provides excellent structure and length to this charming Chardonnay. At its best: now to 2026" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Nov 2022
"A classic bouquet of peaches, apples, a touch of smoky wood and vanilla custard laced with barrel spice and youthful energy. Youthful, fresh, satin-cream textures and flavours that mirror the bouquet coat the palate along with a backbone of acidity and and superfine wood tannins for mouthfeel. Balanced and well made, still youthful and will develop well over the next year. A fairly lengthy finish with best drinking from late 2023 through 2027+" Cameron Douglas Master Sommelier, Apr 2023
Sourced from vineyards in Hawke’s Bay, this is a rich style of Chardonnay with an accent on strong fruit flavours. Ripe Melon, Nectarine and summer peach aromas abound with oak hints of cedar and spice and a long, full, yet soft finish.
This Chardonnay is a mix of clones Mendoza and Fifteen, from the Bridge Pa and Crownthorpe districts in Hawke’s Bay. Free draining stony gravels are the pre-dominant soil structure in this area. The crop was kept low and well exposed to ensure even ripening and optimal flavour development.
This Chardonnay was cool fermented with both aromatic yeasts and Burgundy style yeasts in stainless-steel tanks. Once fermentation was completed, the wine was left for an extended period on yeast lees to promote textural qualities and mouthfeel. The wine exhibits stonefruit and ripe citrus flavours with a rich, mealy texture.
Food Pairing: Ideally matched with creamy pasta and white meat dishes, it is also delicious with seafood.
