World Wine – “Intense, powerful and extremely elegant chardonnay with ripe grapefruit, tree fruit, peach, saline, oyster-shell, hazelnut, baguette crust and nutty oak flavours. Youthful but certainly approachable and with obvious cellaring potential.” - Bob Campbell MW

About This Wine

It is the soils of the Gimblett Gravels Vineyard that impart a finely textured mineral quality into the finished wine, unique to Chardonnay produced from this region. Finely flavoured, complex, taut single vineyard Chardonnay.

Pale straw colour. A nose that talks to our house style; oyster shell, roasted cashews and orange zest. The palate is as powerful as it is everlasting. Brioche, white peach flesh and kaffir lime flavours are all present, but the sophistication and detail give the wine the X factor. No hair out of place with oak, fruit and acid perfectly balanced. The creamy yet lasting acidity ensures that the flavour within the wine continues long after it leaves the mouth. An increasingly iconic Chardonnay in the NZ landscape.

Wines of Hawke's Bay

The oldest wine producing region in New Zealand, Hawkes bay is located on the east coast of the North Island.

Hawkes bay is split into a few subregions, the most notable of these are Gimblett Gravels, Bridge Pa Triangle and Te Mata Special Character Zone. These subregions are known for producing some of the best reds in the country, particularly Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah. The top blends from these regions are on par with top level Bordeaux blends from around the world.

White wine is also produced in Hawke’s Bay, with Chardonnay in the lead in terms of volume with Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris and Viogner following behind.
