Pale straw. Lifted aromas of ripe peach and vanilla with notes of toasted oak spice. Fresh and fruit driven with layers of ripe stone fruit, citrus pith and a touch of spice. The mouthfeel is full and round with a creamy texture and a lingering finish. Full-bodied with layers of ripe stone fruit and toasted oak spice. Perfect for drinking immediately, this Chardonnay will be at its best over the next two to three years. 

Fruit was carefully selected from several quality vineyards within Marlborough’s Wairau Valley. Each parcel was chosen to add complexity and fullness as well as impart balance and offer particular characteristics to the final wine. The wine is partially fermented in seasoned French and American oak barrels. Each barrel underwent malolactic fermentation to add depth and give fullness to the palate. After nine months barrel aging the wine was blended and carefully prepared for bottling.

Food Pairing: A perfect match for poached salmon served with leafy greens and vinaigrette dressing.
