Description

Pale straw in complexion the Waipara Hills Chardonnay offers beautiful lifted nectarines and white peach aromas with a lovely hint of buttered toast. The palate is one of succulent stone fruit flavours, which blend perfectly with a rich mealy mid palate and a long crisp finish.

Sourced from our Waipara Valley vineyard sites, the free draining gravels of The Home Block and the heavier clay soils of the Dunnolly Vineyard add comlexity to the wines.

Harvested in the early hours of the morning, the fruit was pressed immediately. No sulphur was added to settle the juice to soften the phenolics and encourage fruit intensity. The juice was left to settle until very clean, then racked, warmed and inoculated. Some juice was transferred to barrels, while the majority was transferred to tanks. After two months of malolactic fermentation, the tanks were topped up and stirred. In late sring the wine was blended using natural methods.
