Layers of ripe peach, apricots, fresh melon and citrus with subtle hints of oak spices. The palate combines ripe fruit, lees complexity and hints of lightly-toasted oak with a clean, elegant finish.
The 2019 growing season in Hawke’s Bay was outstanding. The new year brought with it long, hot, sunny Summer days with moderate-cool nights, perfect ripening conditions for Chardonnay. The weather continued to remain favourable, allowing for fruit to be harvested without the pressure of rain.
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, and lightly oaked, the batches were racked, blended, stabilised and filtered prior to bottling.
Food Pairing: Enjoy with roast chicken, raw or lightly cooked shellfish, and creamy pasta dishes.
