This Mystery Chardonnay is a great representation of a balanced, approachable wine from Hawkes Bay. Flavours of citrus and vanilla bean are present with a finish of orange and nectarine. Food-friendly and refreshing this wine has a creamy texture with a hint of oak.

Individual parcels of fruit were picked from the two different vineyards in Hawke's Bay. The grapes were gently pressed and the juice was briefly settled then transferred to a mix of Oak barrels and stainless steel tanks for fermentation. Selected parcels went through Malolactic fermentation which has added weight and creaminess to the palate. Once the fermentation was complete, the young wine spent eight months ageing in barrel and tank with regular lees stirring undertaken to add richness and texture to the wine.

Food Pairing: Best sharing the table with fish, pork or roast chicken.
