Winemaker Notes
The wine is pale straw in color with green tints, which will develop slowly to a rich golden straw color with ageing. Fresh and distinctive Gisborne Chardonnay fruit aromas of pineapple, passionfruit and grapefruit complemented with light oak complexity. The palate is rich and full with mouth filling ripe fruit flavors and a balanced acidity. The fruit flavors are complemented with a light oak character which gives rise to an excellent palate weight and length of flavor. Although drinking excellently now, this wine will continue to develop with cellaring over the next 3 -5 years.
