A lovely drop of Hawke's Bay Chardonnay.

Grown on a variety of soil types including gravels, silt and loam which provide depth and complexity of flavour. A small portion of the blend is aged in French oak barriques giving creaminess and complexity.

The Cellar Selection Chardonnay has citrus and nectarine flavours backed up with sweet oak and lees-stirred complexity.  The flavour is of a genuine appley Chardonnay but with slight tropical notes at the back. This is a thorough-bred Chardonnay - no over-oaking here, and there is huge respect for this versatile grape. 

It is made in an easy drinking style, but will comfortably cellar for several more years.

Food match: Seafood, chicken, salads... a very versatile wine.
