Tasting Notes
Valhalla Chardonnay 2022 opens with intense savoury aromas, brioche, roasted cashew and hazelnut layered over ripe stone fruit, with a subtle lift of green smoke. These aromas translate seamlessly to the palate, where the richness of the vintage is kept in-check by taut acidity.
A final note of salted caramel lingers, a nod to the Pacific Ocean’s coastal influence.
Chardonnay with swagger and poise.
The Blend
100% Chardonnay, hand-picked and barrel-aged. Grown on rugged coastal slopes of Waiheke Island and fermented with wild yeasts to amplify character and complexity. Aged on lees to build texture and depth.
Pair it with
Roast pork with crackling, grilled lobster tails, or anything served under candlelight. Valhalla is made to impress.
