This wine is layered with fragrant aromas of red apple, nectarine and lemon peel alongside toasted almond, nougat, a touch of spice and vanilla. On the palate, juicy apple and nectarine flavours are balanced by crisp citrus notes and refreshing acidity. Wild ferment and barrel aging has added complexity, nutty nuances and a weighty texture. The wine concludes in a dry, lingering, elegant finish.

The palate has great fruit concentration and texture. Stone fruit notes are balanced by fresh citrus characters. Hints of butterscotch and great length of flavour make it a delicious pairing with Camembert cheese, pan seared salmon or other white meat dishes.

Clear, bright appearance. Pale gold with a greenish fleck. Looks nice and fresh! Really positive, mineral, almost saline character. Pretty complex stuff, flint & white blossom mingling with creamy brioch and baked peach aromas. This chardonnay exhibits an elegant, nervy delicacy which belies the power and depth of flavours that ripple across the palate. Nice, fresh, saline tastes certainly hang around well after tasting. Ready for immediate enjoyment from today but absolutely built to gain layers from time in bottle for those who like to wait. Match with pork cutlet, hazelnuts and sauce vin jaune.

A classic Chardonnay from Gisborne, this wine has notes of ripe stone fruit and rockmelon with a subtle creamy texture. Pair with fresh local seafood, or a chicken dish, especially those with an element of creaminess.

Mahi love Chardonnay! This wine is a complex, textural wine that exhibits the slight creaminess on the mid-palate that is the key characteristic of Chardonnay. The structure still retains acidity giving length and freshness.
