Notes
This year’s vintage was one of the finest with a cool summer allowing the grapes to ripen gently and evenly, allowing optimal picking decisions and accentuating the concentrated and distinctive flavours. This Chardonnay was selected from the famed Rapaura Gravels in Marlborough from old mendoza vines. Our Chardonnay was hand picked and lightly whole bunch pressed directly into 30% new François Fréres and Mercurey Barrels where it underwent natural fermentation and partial malolactic fermentation, before aging on lees for 12 months followed by a light filtration and then bottling.
