Chardonnay
About our Winemaker
From our Head Winemaker
If you are a Chardonnay fan, you will definitely enjoy Brett’s selection from our Corner 50 vineyard in Hawke’s Bay. A rich, complex barrel fermented Chardonnay, it exhibits flavours of white peach, apricot, and pineapple are layered with nutty characters. A perfect balance of fruit flavours and oak influence, with clean acidity underpinning the length of the palate, blending creamy complexities with a crisp freshness.
