Craggy Range Chardonnay, Kidnapper's Vineyard
Availability:6 In Stock
100% Chardonnay, Hawke's Bay, New Zealand
TASTING NOTE:
Pale lime to pale straw. Instantly you are reminded of the coastal
nature of this vineyard, with oyster shell, sea spray and cashew all
present in the bouquet. Overall, the mouth feels vibrant and fresh,
with lively acidity, but not at the expense of flavour. Fresh lemon
curd and supple oak round out a palate that is as delicious as it is
refreshing.
The cool yet sunny environment of our Te Awanga Vineyard near Cape Kidnappers allows the development of intense Chardonnay flavours in the grapes, captured using traditional winemaking techniques seen in the Chablis region of France.
