From unirrigated Mendoza clones averaging 30 years old, the grapes are cold pressed and ferment in stainless steel tank. 30% of the wine is aged in puncheon and barrels to add complexity and roundness. Underlying notes of peach, seductive smokiness and a hint of salt, typical of Nelson.
Heaphy Moutere Chardonnay is a deliciously structured Chardonnay with bright generous fruit, a powerful breadth in the palate. Muscular, bold and pleasing its a proper glass of what is arguably New Zealand's, let alone Nelson's most exciting variety.
Enjoy with pork tenderdoin in a rich creamy sauce, roast chicken, ham hock, smoked salmon pate, creamy vege linguine and hard cheese.
