Selected Chardonnay grapes from our best vineyards were used to make this wine. Their juice was barrel fermented and matured giving beautiful balance of fruit and oak. The result is a generous expression of Marlborough Chardonnay with ripe citrus and succulent nectarine flavours delicately balanced with subtle nut and creamy nuances

Winemaking
The grapes were hand harvested and whole bunch pressed straight to French oak barriques. A portion was fermented on solids. The primary ferment was conducted by both cultured and indigenous yeasts. The barrels were then inoculated for malo-lactic fermentation. Blending from the selected barrels occurred if February. The wine had a light finning prior to bottling.
