The cool climate of Marlborough combined with a traditional Burgundian fermentation path results in a textured, beautifully mineral-driven Chardonnay. The wine develops through high-solids barrel fermentation with wild yeast, lees aging in French oak and bâtonnage throughout the maturation period.

Natural stone fruit and citrus flavours that build aromatic complexity and texture, and craft an elegant, dry, and mouth-filling wine. It will age with grace and has the length and subtle power that will satisfy those who mainly drink white Burgundies.

“An excellent bouquet filled with scents of ripe stone fruits and apple, grapefruit and barrel spices of clove and vanilla. Nutty, baked custard and enticing. Full-bodied, complex and delicious on the palate with a perfect balance between fruits and spices, creaminess and toasty barrel complexities. Lees and acidity, a touch of gun flint, cashew and custard fruits all impact adding to a lengthy finish. Best drinking from day of purchase through 2029.”

“A fresh and crunchy chardonnay with pureed apples and stone and chalk undertones. Medium body. Delicious fruit and a minerally finish. Drink now. Screw cap.”
