Description

The 2024 vintage is being celebrated for its outstanding quality. Favourable weather conditions allowed the Chardonnay grapes to reach perfect ripeness, resulting in a wine with impressive flavour intensity and depth.

The grapes, sourced from a variety of premium vineyards across the Hawke’s Bay region, were carefully picked by hand and machine. They were immediately pressed and transferred to 100% French oak barrels, with 15% being new oak. The wine stayed in barrel for 10 months, with periodic stirring to enhance character, before undergoing partial malolactic fermentation.

 

Pale gold in colour with enticing aromas of roasted almonds, ripe peach and nectarine and warm buttered toast. An impressive palate featuring toasty brioche notes intertwined with a blend of stone fruits,with great length on the finish.
