Cloudy Bay Chardonnay offers layered fruit and a generous texture. Ripe citrus and white stone fruit aromas open into warm pastry notes, followed by Meyer lemon, apricot and apple on the palate.

French oak brings a gentle vanilla accent that complements the fruit. Eleven months of maturation and full malolactic fermentation help develop its rounded mouthfeel, balanced by freshness and subtle apple-skin texture on the finish.

Serve at 10–12°C alongside seafood, creamy pasta or soft cow’s-milk cheeses.
