This wine offers a range of aromas including lemon zest, red apple and brioche. The palate is ripe and juicy with citrus and peach flavours, a soft texture and a lovely, clean acidity. A deliciously pure expression of Chardonnay highlighting the variety’s natural fruit characters together with some richness and balanced by a fresh acidity.

This is a single vineyard wine from our Chaytors Road property close to the coast in the Wairau Valley, where the sea breezes moderate temperatures. The grapes are half 25-year-old Mendoza clone and half six-year-old vines of the newer 548 clone.

Food Pairing: Easy to enjoy on its own, or to accompany seafood, creamy risottos and pasta dishes, fresh salmon, soft white cheeses and chicken.
