Planted in 1993, farmed organically and on some of the deepest free-draining gravels on the famed Martinborough Terrace. Vines trained for low vigour and yields combine to deliver a wine of power and depth of flavour.

As a result of this approach the fruit quality is evident creating a wine which is tightly wound and restrained in its youth, ensuring a Chardonnay which will develop layers of flavour, richness and complexity over time and reward patience in the cellar.

“Clear, bright, pale gold appearance. Classic cool climate Chardonnay notes of Grapefruit and white petal florals, there are baked lemon and peach notes with some zesty sea spray and brine/saline highlights delivering a mineral charge. Palate line is tight and salivating with delicious integrated acidity cushioned by a soft and creamy texture. Power, precision and fruit purity.”
