2024 Kererū Road Chardonnay, Hawke's Bay

Hand picked, whole bunch pressed. Wild ferment in a combination of Nico Velo concrete tulipes and seasoned oak, and aged on lees for 14 months. Bottled unfined.

Golden lemon hue. Characters of nectarine, pear, ripe apples, Meyer lemon and a hint of shortbread. A lovely soft nutty texture that builds in richness before the unique saltiness found in all our Pyramid Valley Chardonnay comes through in the long, rice paper-like finish.
Absolutely delicious. Tasting note
