Chardonnay in this form is destined for seafood. Generous bouillabaisse with crusty bread, snapper sliders or garlic & butter prawns. I promise you, you can’t go wrong.

Wine Details
Classic but not old fashioned. This delicious chardonnay walks a tightrope of fruit, minerality, oak and acidity.
Summer stone fruits are woven together with rockpool minerality. Sophisticated lees work adds another layer to the texture of this wine. Tiritiri Chardonnay truly impresses with its delicate integration of oak. The use of barriques frame the wine gently, without demanding attention.
There is beautiful shape to this wine, its voluminous without being overblown. What may be taken to be a rather lush palate on entry, tapers to a refreshing and modern finish.
