The second tier label from this iconic producer. The Kumeu area makes some of the best (if not THE best Chardonnay in the country) and this is an affordable entry point. Old French oak barriques and 60% in stainless steel mean this Chardonnay keeps its fresh fruit flavours and aromas. With white peach particularly prevalent. There’s a clean line of acid, with lots of lime and lemon, making it a great aperitif wine, or with a big seafood platter.
