"Discover the quality of New Zealand's wine regions through this sublime Chardonnay!"

“Aromas of flint and cashews are beautifully enhanced by notes of lemon cream and lime in this Chardonnay—both elegant and approachable—from one of New Zealand’s most famous brands. Likewise, the palate is full-bodied and balanced, with a charming texture and acidity that enliven the flavors of toasted stone fruit and spices, leading to a long finish. Enjoy now with roast chicken or mushrooms, or celller for several more years.” (Wine Enthusiast 2025) • Screw cap
