CHARDONNAY
2018 – Kidnappers Vineyard , Hawke’s Bay
The cool yet sunny environment of our Te Awanga Vineyard near Cape Kidnappers allows the development of intense Chardonnay flavors in the grapes, captured using traditional winemaking techniques seen in the Chablis region of France
A UNIQUE EXPRESSIVE CHARDONNAY
The shallow, warm clay loam soils and careful selection of clones in this environment allows the development of pure, cool Chardonnay flavours
TASTING NOTE
Pale lemon straw with faint green hue. Complex and refreshing aromatics of melon rind, sea spray, honeysuckle and a hint of beeswax. Very precise across the palate with ripe citrus and subtle oak highlights and a long, texturally dry and almost saline-like finish.
