Tasting Notes

Complex aromas of grilled white peach, blood orange and rock melon, layered with suggestions of warm brioche and lightly toasted oak. The medium weight palate is mineral driven and textural up front, opening with citrus and stone fruits. Vibrant acidity brings freshness and a saline quality to the wine as it moves towards a lingeringly dry, focused finish.

A serious, mineral-driven Central Otago Chardonnay from an organic single vineyard.

Why you'll love it: it has the richness and texture to satisfy, kept elegant by a saline, mineral freshness, the sort of Chardonnay that wins over even the Chardonnay-shy.

The Vineyard

Grown on the producer's BioGro-certified organic home block in the Queensberry sub-region, on free-draining alluvial terraces above the Clutha River. Cool nights and a long, even ripening season give the wine its tension and length.
