Fruit-forward, well-balanced and smooth through the finish, with varietal character front and centre. Classic styles. Great in the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSourced from Hawke’s Bay on the North Island’s east coast, a premium maritime region known for ripe, expressive Chardonnay. The 2024\/25 season was warm and dry, ideal for building flavour and natural richness. A brief spell of late season rain had minimal impact, with fine weather returning ahead of harvest. The result is fruit with brightness, depth and fresh varietal clarity. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMatured for six months on French oak, bringing subtle texture and complexity while letting the vibrant fruit stay front and centre.
