Craggy Range Kidnappers Chardonnay 2015

A modern, new world expression of pure Chardonnay. The cool yet sunny environment of the Te Awanga Vineyard near Cape Kidnappers allows the development of intense Chardonnay flavours in the grapes, captured using traditional winemaking techniques seen in the Chablis region of France. The palate is taut and textural with a phenolic backbone providing length to the sweet citrus and melon fruits.

"Smoky, almost gravelly, reductive elements add both complexity and tautness to this strictly controlled chardonnay. Steely stone fruit flavours run through the palate with just the slightest hints of both sage and buttered toast." Campbell Mattinson
