🍇 Vibrant, Textured, and Distinctly Marlborough
A bold yet refined Chardonnay with a racy Southern Hemisphere edge.
🍷 In the Glass
Bright golden straw with a subtle green hue—clean and polished.
👃 On the Nose
Fragrant notes of ripe peach, nectarine, and citrus blossom, layered with hints of toasted hazelnut, creamy vanilla, and a touch of flinty minerality.
🥂 On the Palate
Medium-bodied with a lovely creamy texture, showcasing flavours of juicy stone fruits, baked apple, and a gentle lemon curd brightness. Subtle oak influence adds depth and spice, finishing long with a crisp, mineral-driven lift.
🍽️ Food Pairing
A great match for roast chicken with garlic butter, seared scallops, creamy seafood pasta, or grilled corn and halloumi salad.
⏳ Ageing Potential
Delicious now for its lively fruit and creamy complexity, or cellar for 3–4 years to develop richer, nutty notes.
