Why You'll Love It
This is single-vineyard Chardonnay at its finest—elegant, precise, and beautifully refined. The Keltern Vineyard, established in 1999, has earned a reputation as one of New Zealand's premier Chardonnay sites, consistently producing wines of distinction. Its unique location and meticulous viticulture have made it synonymous with premium Chardonnay in New Zealand. The result is a wine with exceptional finesse, concentration and ageing potential.
Vineyard & Production
Situated east of Maraekakaho in Hawke's Bay, the vineyard lies directly in the path of cool mountain air currents, moderated by the Ngaruroro River. This inland site sits on an ancient riverbed of silt loams layered over red metal soils, scattered with large, free-draining gravel stones. These conditions create a distinctive terroir that contributes both finesse and concentration to the wines. The Chardonnay is fermented exclusively with indigenous yeasts in French barriques, 27% new, with the remainder one to two years old. It then matures for 10 months in barrel, developing texture, complexity and balance.

Evidence boundary
This page combines the recorded bottle identity with linked source records. An exact region-name match supplies regional context but does not prove that this bottle carries the protected designation. A vineyard is only shown as bottle-level evidence when a wine-to-vineyard link exists. BottlePicker does not infer a vineyard, soil or site climate from a retailer title.
