Vineyard
Our Chardonnay grapes were sourced from Marlborough's Lower Wairau Valley. This area is old riverbed with fast draining, alluvial soils.
Vinification
Ripening steadily throughout the growing period, this fruit was continually monitored by Heather and the team until the right balance of flavour and ripeness was attained. The grapes were machine harvested in the cool of the night to retain freshness.
