Tasting Notes
Deep straw in colour. Warm tones of ripe citrus are complemented by savoury, mealy notes developed over time on lees. Fine-grained oak sits subtly in the background, adding layers and a thread of gentle smoke that unites fruit and wood. The palate leads with pure citrus, developing into nutty complexity and hints of oatmeal. Glycerol texture and slippery, saline acidity keep it fresh and focused. A Chardonnay with impressive drinkability.
Cellaring: Drinking beautifully now or cellar for 10+ years.
A Chardonnay to revisit year after year.
The Blend
100% Chardonnay from the largest BioGro-certified vineyard in New Zealand. Wild fermentation, aged in French oak, unfined and bottled with minimal intervention to express purity and site.
Pair it With
Crayfish, charred cauliflower, or a creamy risotto. Its texture and citrus energy make it versatile across seasons.
