Grapes: 100% Chardonnay

This winery has been described by Robert Parker as "white Burgundy in Kiwi clothing". Indeed, normally one associates NZ with Sauvignon Blanc, but there are some seriously good Chardonnays coming from this cool climate, ready to give the best in the world a run for their money.

This is a wine where we always have a bottle in the fridge. The perfect aperitif Chardonnay, it's a wine that pairs very well with all types of seafood. This vintage is 30% fermented in old French oak barrels and 70% in stainless steel tanks. The barrel fermentation adds richness without overwhelming oak influence, while the tank fermentation lets the vibrant fruit shine. Expect lively lime and lemon aromas, complemented by a flinty, mineral palate with notes of fig and white peach.
