Fermented 40% in old French oak barriques, and 60% in stainless steel tanks there is very little oak influence on either nose or palate.
Tasting Note: The weighty mid-palate also shows peachy ripeness along with crisp acid minerality that gives the wine a refreshing cleansing quality. This wine is delightful as an aperitif, and even better to drink with fish and shellfish.
Origin: Hawke's Bay, New Zealand
Blend: Chardonnay
