Description

  • French oak
  • Rockmelon & mango
  • Vanilla & hazelnut
  • Creamy mouthfeel

"Elegantly complex and inviting, the bouquet shows rockmelon, mango, vanilla and roasted hazelnut aromas, leading to a generously weighted palate offering creamy mouthfeel combined with beautifully pitched acidity, finishing long and flavoursome. At its best: now to 2029" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jul 2024

This delicious Gisborne Chardonnay is sourced from two vineyard sites with a multi clonal mix. This allows us to select the parcels we want to create a Chardonnay with more layers of flavour and complexity. 

The grapes for this elegant Gisborne Chardonnay are grown from two select parcels from the Tietjen vineyard in the Hexton Hills or “Golden Slopes” appellation of Gisborne.  This narrow 10km strip is made up of small parcels of elevated sloping land. Medium to heavy Kaiti clay base is overlaid with 20-30cm of light black topsoil, with influences from the limestone foothills. The site has had a rich history in producing award-winning Chardonnay for over 20 years and the wine is made from the Mendoza clone of Chardonnay. The vines achieved good ripeness and with low yields came excellent flavours and weight to the fruit.
