About this wine

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.
