About this Wine

This Chardonnay is the result of a collaboration between Prophet’s Rock winemaker Paul Pujol and renowned French winemaker François Millet from Chambolle-Musigny, Burgundy. François, who spent 35 vintages as the winemaker at Comte George de Vogüé, continues his winemaking legacy in Burgundy with his family under the label ‘François Millet et Fils,’ and now also with us in New Zealand.

The grapes for this Chardonnay were sourced from a small, one-hectare block in our Kopuwai Delta vineyard, situated in the Pisa sub-region of Central Otago. This site features a mix of glacial and alluvial soils. Meticulous viticulture practices and the vineyard’s low elevation ensure full ripeness and concentration of the grapes. Cellaring will reward collectors over the next 10+ years from the vintage date.

Central Otago Wines

Central Otago is a unique wine region for New Zealand as it does not grow any of the country's famous Sauvignon Blanc but also unique globally for being the most southerly commercial wine region in the world. The region is famous for its fruity and full-bodied Pinot Noir with about ¾ of all vineyards in the region growing this grape variety. One of our favourite Pinot Noir regions here at World Wine.

Central Otago is the only region in New Zealand with a truly continental climate, with large daily and seasonal temperature extremes. At 300m in elevation, vineyards are protected from the cold ocean winds by high mountains reaching 3700m. The soils are also different to the rest of the country, with heavy deposits of rough-edged mica and other metamorphic schists in silt loams.

Historically, the subregion of Bannockburn has seen the most success. However, the region has seen significant growth in recent years and other sub regions are also flourishing.
