This Mystery Chardonnay exhibits guava, citrus and stone fruit flavours which combine seamlessly with the subtle toasty oak. The palate combines ripe fruit, lees complexity and subtle oak with a fresh elegant finish. Enjoy now, or cellar up to 5 years.
This 2017 Mystery Chardonnay was sourced from a range of Hawke’s Bay vineyards in sub regions of Hawke’s Bay. These vineyards are characterised by moderate temperatures and free draining soils, perfect for producing high quality fruit. This Mystery Chardonnay exhibits guava, citrus and stone fruit flavours combined seamlessly with subtle toasty oak. The palate is vibrant and textural with lees complexity, subtle oak and an elegant finish.
The 2017 vintage was another great one for Chardonnay in Hawke’s Bay. A moderate spring with low frost risk and good flowering led into an extremely dry and warm summer. Above average temperatures were recorded in January and February, which set the vines up well. Some late rains alleviated the drought pressure brought about by the hot summer.
The fruit was gently picked and pressed to give fine fresh juices with a soft texture. The batches were kept separate and fermented with a range of vessels, temperatures and yeast strains to give complexity of aroma and mouthfeel. After aging on full yeast lees with regular stirring the batches were blended and prepared for bottling.
Food Pairing: Enjoy with roast chicken, oysters or fish and chips.
Suitable for vegetarians and gluten free diets.

A quaffer wine for enjoyment mid week but good example of the variety.
