Alpha Domus The Batten Chardonnay 2024

Alpha Domus The Batten Chardonnay 2024

• Region: Hawke’s Bay
• Sub-Region: Bridge Pa Triangle

Vineyard The organic fruit for The Batten was harvested from the best parcels of Clone 15 grapes within the estate. Handpicked and whole-bunch pressed, the juice was transferred to 100% French oak barriques and puncheons to develop its signature depth.

Wine Luxurious, powerful, and complex palate that remains balanced and elegant. It delivers notes of caramel and toffee alongside roasted peach flavors, leading into a long, layered mineral finish with subtle hints of nutmeg.

Food Pairings

• Grilled peach and burrata salad
