A handsome crowd including grapefruit, lemon curd and vanilla bean rendezvous at a discreet location waiting for the fashionably late arrival of navel orange and nectarine. The appearance of softly spoken oak concludes the gathering.

The 2018 Leftfield Chardonnay is a versatile wine, easy drinking enough for supping on Taco Tuesday, yet serious enough for a Sunday Pork roast at your mum's house. Using grapes grown in sunny Hawkes Bay, New Zealand, the Leftfield Chardonnay is a delicious, lightly oaked style of Chardonnay.

Fermentation takes place in a mix of stainless steel vat and mostly neutral oak barrels for a refreshing yet richly flavoured wine. A mixture of wild fermentation, stirring of the barrels and malolactic fermentation all help to build texture and plushness in the wine.

Food Pairing: Imbibe on its own or devour along with whole baked fish with lemon.
