"Discover the quality of New Zealand terroirs through this sublime Chardonnay!"

"Lively and clear, with aromas of dried apple, mineral and stone, as well as notes of honeysuckle. Medium-bodied, it has a lively, crisp acidity and flavors of nougat and baked apple. The finish has notes of lime. Its brightness is impressive. Ready to drink now. Screw cap." (James Suckling 2024) Screw cap
