Tasting Notes

This is a medium-bodied and elegant Hawkes Bay Chardonnay. Its flavour profile is a mix of stonefruit, grilled nuts, grapefruit and yeasty nuances. It is both complex and delicious.

Vineyards and Winemaking

The fruit for this wine was sourced from two iconic Hawkes Bay Chardonnay sites, the Keltern and Two Terraces vineyards. The fruit profile of these vineyards give a blend of ripe stonefruit and zesty citrus characters as well as bright acidity and flinty complexity. Meticulous vineyard management is carried out in the pursuit of quality. The individual vineyard parcels were harvested in good condition in early March and fermented in a mix of tank and seasoned French oak barriques (50%). A small portion was encouraged through malo-lactic fermentation to soften the wine and add richness and complexity. After fermentation the wines were left on their yeast lees with regular stirring until blending and bottling after 12 months of ageing.

Food Pairing

Ideally suited to rich seafood dishes or white meats such as pork or chicken, but equally delicious as an aperitif or with hard cheeses.
