Description

- Ripe peach
- Spicy cedar
- Luscious texture
"Pale yellow in color, this wine shows notes of flint, salt and seashell along with tangerine, ginger and grapefruit. The palate is texturally rich but is lifted by bright acidity and offers a balanced combo of tangy citrus fruit and toasty oak spice" Wine Enthusiast, Nov 2019
A classic style of Chardonnay with stacks of luscious ripe peach and nectarine. Fresh and vibrant with a luscious texture, spicy cedar finish and generous oak influence.
Blended from vineyards throughout Hawke's Bay. The fruit selected from Hawke's Bay adds a textural element, richness, citrus flavours and ageability to the wine.
The 2017 growing season in Hawke’s Bay was hot and dry right up until the end of February, then there was quite a bit of rainfall. Through excellent vineyard and viticultural management, the vineyards weathered the wet weather well, going on to produce some very beautiful Chardonnay fruit.
Once harvested the fruit was pressed, settled & racked in Hawke’s Bay to ensure there is no compromise to the quality of the fruit, then transported down to the winery in Marlborough. A portion of the blend was put to barrel (1,000L German Fuder oak barrels & 300L French oak) and the balance was fermented in tank. Inoculated with classic Burgundian Chardonnay yeast. Aged on lees in French oak for 6 months prior to blending. There was no malolactic fermentation for the 2017 vintage.
Food Pairing: Seared pork loin and seasonal vegetables.
