The cool yet sunny environment of our Te Awanga Vineyard near Cape Kidnappers allows the development of intense Chardonnay flavours in the grapes, captured using traditional winemaking techniques seen in the Chablis region of France.
Aromas of fleshy peaches and crisp pears with fresh citrus notes of lemon and mandarin, lay amongst hints of blossom, thistle and subtle oak sweetness. These aromas carry to the palate where they are harmonised by the delicious salinty, chalky texture and fresh acidity distinctive of its coastal site. This wine pairs perfectly with seafood, fresh pasta and summery salads.
92 Points, Wine Enthusiast (previous vintage)
A medium gold colour, this coastal wine offers classic varietal aromas of melon and peach with a creamy, toasty underbelly. It's well balanced with textural interest and a lift of citrusy acidity, resulting in a food-friendly drop that's a great example of the Hawke's Bay Chardonnay style.
