Description
"An elegant expression, the nicely fragrant bouquet shows stone fruit, rockmelon, mandarin and subtle creamy notes. It is succulent and rounded on the palate, and offers appealing fruit flavours and smooth texture, well structured by juicy acidity. Very well priced and super friendly. At its best: now to 2018." Sam Kim Wine Orbit
Sourced from the sunny Hawkes Bay, this Chardonnay is a fruit driven style. Presenting a smooth palate with ripe melon and stonefruit flavours. It finishes with hints of spicy oak.
The fruit for this wine was grown in two vineyards in the Dartmoor Vally region of Hawkes Bay. The soils here are predominantly stony loams over old river terrace beds. A combination of Mendoza and Clone 6 provide differing flavour profiles, which helps us to increase the complexity of the finished wine. These vines are relatively mature, and are cropped at low yield levels to give intensely flavoured grapes.
The focus in the winery is to capture the pure fruit flavours that come from the vineyard, whilst adding complexity through our winemaking efforts to produce a multi-dimensional wine. This is achieved by using a mixture of tank and a small percentage of oak fermentation of the juice, making use of a combination of cultured and wild yeasts. The wine remained on yeast lees in tank for 9 months before being racked and fined.

With a clear oak influence, the wine is suited to a very, very dry palate.
