What’s Inside:
Village Square Chardonnay: Fruit-forward and easy-drinking; a lighter, friendlier take.
- Pask Gimblett Gravels Chardonnay 2022: A vibrant straw colour with intense aromas of citrus & floral notes, hints of toast & creamy butterscotch, salted caramel, ginger & spice.
- Bogle Family Vineyards Twenty Acres Chardonnay 2023: On the nose, it opens with vibrant aromas of green apple and ripe Asian pear, hinting at the freshness to come. The Chenin Blanc contributes nuanced notes of honeydew melon. The palate is beautifully layered, starting with a bright acidity that gives it a crisp, food-friendly profile.
- Jam Shed Chardonnay 2023: a rich and flavorful white wine that offers a modern twist on a classic variety.
- De Bortoli Organic Chardonnay 2021: Aged on fine yeast lees for three months, giving the wine a creamy texture and depth.
- Montana Collection Chardonnay 2021: a robust, buttery wine crafted in the "old school style," showcasing the best of Gisborne's winemaking. With fruit-driven aromas of apricot and melon complemented by balanced buttery notes, this Chardonnay offers a rich and textured palate, highlighted by toasty oak characteristics.
Serving Tip: Open two at a time and see which style wins dinner - perfect with seafood, roast chicken, creamy pastas, or just great company.
