Craighall Chardonnay · New Zealand

2017 was a cool vintage, perfect for Chardonnay. The aromatics are very clean and precise: fresh ripe white pear, florals of jasmine blended with savoury aromas of almond and cashew nuts, opening out in the glass like apple in puff pastry. The palate is incredibly elegant with bright fine acidity that pulls you right to the end of the palate. We love the unforced feel of this wine, no overt oak or fermentation characters; a great representation of the Martinborough Terrace terrior.
