Description

  • Subtle oak
  • Fresh stonefruit
  • Buttery brioche
  • Juicy & refreshing

"Textural, tangy, yet buttery Chardonnay with green apple, citrus/grapefruit, supported by fruity acidity that gives the wine a pleasing energy and peppery phenolics that promote a drying finish" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review

"Restrained and delicately expressed, showing white flesh nectarine, crunchy apple and flinty notes on the nose, leading to a finely textured palate that's juicy and refreshing. Gentle and elegantly styled with good structure and harmony. At its best: now to 2026" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

Green apple, stonefruit, almond and brioche. Elegant and generous Hawkes Bay Chardonnay. Fresh green apple and stonefuit, soft quince and juicy citrus flavours complement a lemon edge and subtle toasted almond.

The 2023 season was an exceptionally challenging growing season with some significant weather events, but despite this our vineyards produced some excellent quality fruit, with complex fruit flavours and bright acidity.

Fruit harvested from vineyards in the Ngtarawa growing regions has been gently pressed and fermented in tanks as well as large oak barrels (puncheons) for subtle oak character and complexity.

Produced from a selection of clones including Mendoza, Clones 15 and 6, has resulted in a delightful array of flavours - from ripe lemon and green apple and crisp stonefruit to toasted almond and spice.
