Discover the precision and texture of Waitaki Valley Chardonnay with Clos Ostler 2024. Grown on the estate’s limestone-rich site, this single-vineyard wine combines expressive stone fruit with bright citrus acidity and a lingering mineral finish.

Hand-harvested fruit and wild fermentation in French oak bring depth and complexity, creating a Chardonnay with both generosity and freshness.

Tasting Notes

Nose: White peach, ripe lychee and delicate floral aromas, complemented by subtle mineral notes.

Palate: Succulent stone fruit leads into focused grapefruit acidity. Fine texture, a mineral backbone and a touch of salinity carry through a long, refined finish.

Winemaking

Handpicked grapes are whole-bunch pressed and fermented entirely in French oak barrels using wild yeast. Barrel fermentation builds texture and depth while preserving the wine’s fresh, site-driven character.

Food Pairing

Pair with roast chicken, pan-seared scallops, grilled fish or creamy mushroom dishes. Serve lightly chilled to appreciate its layered aromas and texture.
