Heaphy Moutere Chardonnay, Nelson 2023
This Nelson Chardonnay is a bold yet elegant expression of one of New Zealand’s most exciting grape varieties. Sourced from unirrigated Mendoza clones averaging 30 years old, the grapes are cold pressed and fermented in stainless steel to preserve freshness. Around 30% of the wine is aged in puncheons and barrels, adding depth, complexity, and a subtle smokiness. The result is a Chardonnay that reflects Nelson’s unique terroir, with its hallmark notes of peach, flint and a touch of sea-salt minerality. Tasting Notes Generous and structured, this Chardonnay offers ripe stone fruit, vibrant citrus, and a powerful breadth on the palate. Muscular yet refined, with a seductive smoky edge and long, satisfying finish. Vineyard & Production From 30-year-old unirrigated Mendoza clones in Nelson 30% barrel aged for richness and texture Classic Nelson character: stone fruit, smokiness, saline freshness Food Pairing Perfect with pork tenderloin in a creamy sauce, roast chicken, ham hock, smoked salmon pâté, creamy vegetable linguine, and hard cheeses.

Vergelegen Reserve Chardonnay 2024
Gloriously lemony in colour, this is citrussy, spicy and a little floral. There's a mouthwatering hint of buttered toast, too. Goes with spicy seafood, grilled chicken or creamy pasta.
