Discover our first release of Chardonnay from the Osawa Vineyard in the Mangatahi Terraces of Hawke's Bay. This fresh and vibrant wine captures the essence of the region with notes of perfectly ripe rock melon, ginger, peach, and hints of green apple and kumquat. The palate is smooth and satisfying, with lingering spice that adds a delightful complexity.

Hand-picked and whole bunch pressed, this Chardonnay underwent wild fermentation in seasoned French oak barriques. Partial malolactic fermentation and aging on yeast lees for 10 months enhanced its texture and flavor, resulting in a beautifully balanced wine.

Enjoy this Chardonnay with haloumi, kaimoana (seafood), or pork, preferably with the sun's warmth on your back.
