This generous wine delivers fragrant citrus blossom and white peach notes which are enhanced with French oak spice and subtle flint tones. The weighty palate features complex flavours of ripe lemon curd with hints of ginger, spice and nectarine. The fresh acidity and fruit concentration give a beautiful length to the palate. Delicious with pork belly.
Generous Marlborough Chardonnay grapes were lightly pressed and cold settled, then 100% barrel fermented with selection of yeast for freshness and purity.
The 2024 growing season in Marlborough was blessed with moderate rainfall, a late but prolific flowering period throughout November and December, and a stunning late, long summer which delivered ripe and concentrated parcels of Clones 95 and Mendoza Chardonnay from selected premium vineyards in the Upper Wairau Valley. A long warm summer with higher-than-average rainfall, lead to grapes achieving high sugars and low acidities.
