Central Otago | Single Vineyard | Pisa | Restrained + Creamy

Tasting Notes

Restrained with elegant complexity, the wine shows white flesh peach, nougat, oatmeal, and roasted cashew nuances on the nose. The palate offers succulent fruit flavours with a creamy texture and finely infused acidity, finishing persistent and expansive.

An elegant, restrained Central Otago Chardonnay with real length.

Why you'll love it: Creamy texture and gentle complexity without heaviness, the sort of Chardonnay that flatters food and keeps evolving in the glass.

The Vineyard

The fruit is grown on the L'Attitude Vineyard in the Pisa sub-region of the Cromwell basin, certified sustainable through Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand. Hand-picked clone 95 fruit was whole-bunch pressed into French oak (about 10% new) for fermentation and went through malolactic fermentation, building the creamy texture and fine, expansive finish.
