Delicately oaked, our debut chardonnay delivers a beach holiday on the palate: fresh summer peach, sea shell and brine. Balanced, flavoursome and delicious!

Vegan friendly.

Review: "Delightfully fruited and elegantly expressed, the wine shows golden peach, rockmelon, lemon zest, and nougat notes on the nose, leading to a succulent palate offering creamy texture backed by bright acidity, finishing supple and flavoursome. 4.5 stars." Sam Kim - Wine Orbit

Tasting Notes

Aroma Offers delicate golden peach, rockmelon, lemon zest, and nougat notes on the nose.
Palate A succulent palate offering creamy texture backed by bright acidity, with sea shell, lemon rind, summer peach, some toasty oak and a bit of textural grapefruit skin.
Viticulture Ōhau vineyard is perfect for cool climate wine production. Late, dry autumns provide cool nights ideal for the slow flavour development during the ripening of the fruit. This is our first harvest from youngish vines planted in 2019. For the first few years, we removed the early signs of fruit to allow the vines to grow and strengthen before the heavy task of fruiting and ripening grapes.
Winemaking As this was the first chardonnay, the winemaking was focussed on understanding the characteristics and flavour profile of our fruit and how to highlight the best features of the grapes. The wine was fermented in old oak barrels, which brings a delicate toasty oak to the chardonnay.
