Luna Estate Chardonnay 2023

Winemaking
Made from estate-grown fruit in Martinborough, the 2023 Chardonnay is fermented with wild yeasts in a mix of seasoned and new French oak barrels. Partial malolactic fermentation and time on lees add richness and texture without sacrificing freshness. It’s a wine that balances energy with elegance.

Bouquet
Aromas of lemon curd, white peach, and grapefruit peel unfold alongside subtle almond, flint, and toasty oak.

Palate
Medium-bodied and finely structured with bright citrus and stone fruit at the core. Creamy lees texture and gentle oak spice lead into a mineral, refreshing finish.

Food Pairing
Perfect with grilled chicken, seared scallops, creamy pasta, or miso-roasted vegetables. A Chardonnay that complements both light and richly textured dishes.

Cellaring
Delicious now for its vibrancy, or cellar for 3–5 years for added savoury depth and complexity.

Interesting Fact
Luna Estate focuses on minimal-intervention winemaking and capturing site expression, producing wines with clarity, restraint, and character.
