Chardonnay and Blends

California was not taken seriously in the wineworld until in the 1970s. It was then that the Chardonnay from the US won several international and French awards. It was the US that made it possible for other new world wine producers to break in to markets previously impossible. New Zealand owes a lot to the American Chardonnay producers.

Lovely integrated oak, hints of bread and hazelnut polished with sweet clover honey. a real gem. Lovely until the last drop.

 This Chardonnay has a bright straw yellow colour with gold tinges. It is dry with high natural acidity. Dense and broad on the mid-palate, it is showing great balance and complexity with a very long, mineral, floral and flinty length. Confident and charismatic.
