🌟 A bold and structured Chardonnay—generous, textural, and deeply satisfying.
👁 In the Glass:
Pale gold with a slight green hue—bright and intense.
👃 On the Nose:
Expressive and full. Ripe stone fruit, citrus peel, and a touch of struck match meet creamy oak, hazelnut, and baked apple.
👅 On the Palate:
Full-bodied and muscular. Broad, generous fruit—peach, nectarine, and golden apple—are wrapped in a creamy lees texture with well-integrated oak and lively acidity. Powerful yet poised, with a long, savoury finish.
🍽 Food Pairing:
Perfect with roast chicken, lobster thermidor, creamy mushroom pasta, or pork belly. A Chardonnay built for bold, richly flavoured dishes.
⏳ Ageing Potential:
Enjoy now for its bold fruit and texture, or cellar for 5–8 years to develop deeper complexity and a nutty, savoury edge.
✨ Why You’ll Love It:
Heaphy’s Moutere Chardonnay is a commanding and expressive wine—New Zealand Chardonnay at its most exciting, with all the depth, precision, and flair you’d hope for from the Moutere clay hills.
