"A superb organic Chardonnay from New Zealand!"

"The 2021 Chardonnay is a small yet punchy and vigorous wine. It offers a fruity sweetness accompanied by a lively, bright, citrus-like acidity that lends firmness to the finish. It underwent 100% wild fermentation in barrels before spending 18 months on the lees. This yields soft flavors of white stone fruits and citrus. 2024–2029” (Vinous 2024) • Screw cap

About the wine:

Subtle aromas of toasted matchsticks and roasted nuts sit just above notes of lemon and toast, without overpowering them; a salty, shellfish-like note is also present. On the palate, the vibrant, lemony acidity provides a welcome counterbalance to the richness of the oak and cream, leading to a long finish.

About the wine:

The 2021 Chardonnay is a small-bodied, punchy, and vigorous wine. It offers a fruity sweetness accompanied by a lively, bright, citrus-like acidity that lends firmness to the finish. This effect stems from pronounced notes of toasted berries—a characteristic of the Mendoza clone that was particularly pronounced in 2021. The wine underwent 100% wild fermentation in barrels before aging on lees for 18 months. This process yields soft flavors of white stone fruits and citrus. 2024–2029

About the wine:

Aromas of lemon, yellow apple, and acacia, followed by shellfish, cheese rind, and a hint of hay and button mushrooms. Medium-bodied, with refreshing acidity. Lively layers of fascinating complexity. Made from organically grown grapes. Ready to drink or for aging. Screw cap.
