Description

- Guava
- Ripe stone fruit
- Citrus
The bouquet exhibits guava, citrus and stone fruit flavours which combine seamlessly with the subtle tasty oak. The palate combines ripe fruit, lees complexity and subtle oak with a fresh elegant finish.
The 2018 growing season provided hot, sunny Summer days with moderate, cool nights for perfect ripening conditions. These superb harvest conditions allowed the fruit to be picked at optimal ripeness. The Hawke’s Bay vineyard is terraced with free draining soils, ideal for growing excellent chardonnay with complex and layered flavours. Intensive canopy and yield management are used to produce Chardonnay with outstanding concentration, weight and balance.
The fruit was picked at ideal ripeness and gently pressed. The juice was settled and racked off solids then fermented with a range of vessels, temperatures and yeast strains to give complexity of aroma and mouth feel. After aging on yeast lees with regular stirring, the batches were racked, blended, stabilised and filtered prior to bottling.
Since its establishment in 1987, Crossroads’ vision has been to craft wines of quality that showcase the harmony of soil and climate in premium wine regions across New Zealand. The Crossroads Milestone Series celebrates our dedication from the vineyard to the winery – creating benchmark wines to savour every day.
Food Pairing: Enjoy with roast chicken, oysters or fish and chips.

Not usually a chardonnay drinker but this is nice and light. Really enjoy it.

Delivered very quickly. It was good value for money and I will use BlackMarket again.

Just as my wife likes it... fruity & with just subtle oak. Another great value offering.

Another one that I'd call the end of the night wine. Not a starter in my opinion but good value and nicely put together.
