Odyssey Lliad Reserve Gisborne Chardonnay 2024

Handpicked and whole-bunch pressed, Hera Chardonnay is a masterful expression of Mendoza Chardonnay, shaped by time-honored techniques and careful craftsmanship. The juice is delicately transferred into a selection of fine-grained French barriques, ranging from one to three years old, each chosen for its unique toasting level, forest origin, and seasoning to best complement the fruit.

Fermented primarily with indigenous yeasts, the wine develops layers of complexity as it matures for 12 months on lees, with gentle stirring enhancing its luxurious texture. A complete malolactic fermentation softens the acidity, without overwhelming the wine’s purity—allowing for a balance of richness and vibrancy.

After a year of careful aging, only the finest barrels are selected for the final blend, resulting in a Chardonnay of depth, elegance, and lasting finesse.
