Sherwood Estate Waipara Valley Chardonnay 2025

Description

Apricot, Butterscotch, Oak

A well balanced medium bodied Chardonnay showing bright stone fruit, rockmelon and butterscotch on the nose. Succulent fruit forward flavours and creamy texture lead on to a silky finish.

The Sherwood range is the original brand of Sherwood Estate Wines. The wine that shares the family name, this is the brand we have become known and respected for over the past 30 years. We feel this brand is most representative of the company, our philosophies and our vision.

The Sherwood 2023 Chardonnay was produced from selected parcels of fruit grown on our Glasnevin vineyard in Waipara, North Canterbury. The fruit was machine harvested, in excellent condition, and left on skins for a short period. The fruit was gently pressed then racked to French oak barriques for indigenous fermentation and seven months lees aging. The parcels were then blended together, lightly fined and filtered prior to bottling.

Food Pairing: Lightly dressed salad or spring vegetable risotto.
