Silver Medal - Royal Easter Show Wine Awards

Boy oh Boy this is a stunner!
The Fruit for this wine comes from Mcdiarmid vineyard in Gisborne. A highly prized site on top of an elevated slope.
100% Whole Bunch, 100% Wild ferment, 11 mnths in small French Barriques
 
Capturing the essence of Gisborne, this Chardonnay offers a medley of tropical fruit aromas, fig and smoky grilled nut. The palate is seamlessly textured, leading to a finish extended by fine acidity. This concentrated wine retains a balance in delivery that will appeal for immediate enjoyment but will ultimately benefit from maturation, developing intriguing complexity over the next 5-8 years
