Rich, ripe fruit, with peach flavours and an inherent creaminess

This inherent creaminess pairs beautifully with light cheeses as an aperitif or with white meats such as chicken.

Description

Pale straw with golden highlights. Bouquet of ripe melon and peach flavours with butterscotch and fig notes. The palate is rich, ripe fruit, with peach flavours and an inherent creaminess.

This historic Gisborne winery is turning out some gems! The Mendoza Chardonnay clone was grown at the famed Tietjen vineyard in Gisborne’s Golden Slopes regione. This vineyard was selected for a rich history in producing premium Chardonnay. Deep clay soils over a limestone base give ideal growing conditions for this Chardonnay. The clone is a selected Mendoza one, trained to two canes to limit yield and balance the vine. Exposure of the fruit to the sun is the basis of good chardonnay growing, and during the year the vines were not only leaf plucked but also delateralised.

Food Pairing:Seafood, light cheeses, chicken or veal
