Vineyard: Gisborne

Tasting Notes: As a young wine, this is pale in the glass with pale gold highlights. As the wine ages, the colour will deepen.The nose is typical of Gisborne Chardonnay in an early year. It is a delightful melange of peach, nectarine and melon.The palate is full of fresh fruit character, yet also has richness, weight and length.Gisborne’s warm climate tends to produce chardonnays that show well in their youth. That said, with careful, cool cellaring, this wine will gain further complexity into the medium term.
