About the wine:
The gleaming Queen of White Grapes, good Chardonnay is all about elegance and complexity and our Lustrous wine is just that, showcasing the myriad of flavour profiles that come from the free-draining soils of Hawke's Bay.
A blend from several vineyard sites and fermented in French Oak barriques, the result is an extremely more-ish Chardy, rich in flavour and seamless in structure finishing with fresh acidity and persistence.
Nectarine and grapefruit are intertwined with honeysuckle and citrus peel. Secondary flavours of biscotti, marzipan and hazelnut add complexity to the zest and pure fruits – a compelling example of why Chardonnay remains the Lustrous Queen.
