Faultline Marlborough Chardonnay 2025

Description

Cream, Oak, Peach

"It’s finely fragrant on the nose with notes of rockmelon, nectarine, grapefruit, and subtle vanilla. On the palate, it offers succulent fruit flavours and fleshy texture, well supported by juicy acidity, making it refreshing and immediately appealing. At its best: now to 2028" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Feb 2026

"A complete wine with a satin-cream touch with contrasting acid line delivering a crunchy mouthfeel and freshness. Flavours of apples, pears and peaches with a citrus topline. Medium+ weighted with balanced and even mouthfeel, low oak impacts. Well made with best drinking from mid 2026 through 2029" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier

The oak and fruit characters are wonderfully integrated creating a youthful wine of power and finesse with aromas of melon and ripe stone fruit finishing off with a hint of creaminess and spice on the palate.

Meticulous vineyard management, combined with excellent terroir yields fruit of outstanding quality from our Marlborough vineyards. The fruit for this wine, was machine harvested in the coolness of morning, for the preservation of the fruit’s natural complexity and character. After pressing, the juice was briefly settled before being fermented and aged for 9months. 

Food Pairing: A fabulous option with seafood or try it with a creamy chicken dish.
