Brief Description

Tasting Notes

Medium-bodied and elegant, the palate is soft and textured with flavours of peach, intermingled with hints of butter, grilled nuts and subtle oak spice.

About

Esk Valley has come a long way since Sir George Fistonich purchased the historic Glenvale Winery from the Bird Family in 1986. Esk Valley began forging a reputation for its innovative and quality wines. Under winemaker Gordon Russell, Esk Valley broke boundaries introducing new grape varieties and new wine styles to Hawkes Bay in New Zealand.

This region is also fast gaining a reputation for its full bodied, yet elegant Chardonnays and this is a textbook example. Careful site selection and fermenting parcels separately has enabled the creation of a complete and complex Chardonnay with texture and depth. The individual vineyard parcels were harvested separately in mid to late March and fermented approximately 50/50 in both tank and French oak barriques.

Ideal with...

This lovely white is ideally suited to rich seafood dishes, especially crayfish and scallops or white meat dishes.
