- Ripe citrus
- Lovely balance
"A Chardonnay that will hold appeal for those lovers of that love-it-or-hate-it struck match character which bounces forward on the nose. Luckily in this wine that character doesn’t overcome the ripe citrus and stone fruit on the nose and through the palate, which is balanced with an elegant minerality and fantastic oak" Cuisine Magazine 2022
Golden straw colour, delicate aromas of white and golden stone fruits with a hint of grapefruit peel. A lovely balanced palate shows yeast autolysis and toasty oak flavours.
After a spring with few frost events, the new year brought with it the long, hot summer days and cool nights that Hawke’s Bay is known for. February saw no rainfall with very drying conditions in the lead up to harvest. Early ripening meant picking began at the start of March. An excellent vintage all round now paying dividends in the winery.
Harvested early March 2020, a blend of clone 15 and Mendoza from our Settlement 1 block on the Gimblett Gravels. Hand picked and whole bunch pressed directly to barrel. Fermented with indigenous yeast, aged in barrel for 10 months.
