Hand harvested Chardonnay from the legendary Lyon’s vineyard in Hawke’s Bay. Planted in 1996 in the stoniest site on the western bank of the Gimblett Gravels. A field blend of Mendoza, Clone 15 and Clone 95 Chardonnay. 12 months in new and seasoned French oak barrels.
Intensely perfumed with summer peach, citrus and lime flower alongside roasted almonds. Medium bodied palate with lovely richness and complexity and notes of peach and vanilla cream.
This concentrated wine has so much potential and will reward cellaring as it relaxes and unfolds.
