The 2021 season was warm and gentle in Central Otago, with a hot Summer and settled harvest conditions. Waitaki was more heavily influenced by its maritime climate, with a cool, overcast growing season and long warm Autumn.The combination of these diverse conditions has contributed to the complexity of the resulting blend.

A selection of Chardonnay clones from our Northburn vineyard was fermented in stainless steel and oak barrels. Maturation on full yeast lees took place over the following 10 months before blending and bottling.

Tasting notes:  Aromas of vanilla, toasted hazelnut, ripe peach and melon, with spicy oak undertones. Generous ripestonefruitcreamy vanilla, and toasted bread notes give way to a fresh mineral finish.

Food Match: This wine should be matched with great company. If eating, try it with poultry, creamy pastas or fresh seafood.

Alc: 14%
