Golden delicious apple, peach and lemon curd aromas with a spicy/cinnamon note.

Medium weight with goods density and viscosity. Lemon, peach , rock-melon and pear fruits are evident along with a pleasant minerality that lingers.

The fruit was harvested from our certified organic Headwaters Vineyard near Renwick in Marlborough’s Wairau Valley. The juice was cold settled then fermented in a combination of stainless steel vats and 228L oak barrels with indigenous (wild) yeasts. A portion of the wine was then encouraged to undergo malolactic fermentation. After seven months on lees to increase mouthfeel, oak integration and complexity, the components were blended. This was followed by a light fining.

This organic Chardonnay wine would go well with poultry or fish or vegetable medley.
