Sourced from select vineyards in Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand’s warmest and most reliable wine region, this 2023 Chardonnay showcases the region’s ability to produce vibrant, fruit-driven wines with structure and balance. Fermented in stainless steel with a portion matured on lees and in oak, the wine blends freshness with a touch of creamy softness.
Bouquet: Bright and expressive aromas of ripe peach, nectarine, and lemon blossom lead the way. Hints of vanilla and toasted almond add a gentle warmth and subtle complexity.
Palate: The palate is smooth and approachable, with lively citrus and stone fruit flavours. A soft oak influence brings texture and a creamy mouthfeel, while the wine finishes crisp and clean with refreshing acidity.
Food Pairing: Perfect with roast chicken, seafood pasta, grilled vegetables, or creamy risottos. Its easy-drinking style also makes it a great match for soft cheeses and casual platters.
