Black Barn Barrel Fermented Chardonnay 2024

• Region: Hawke's Bay
• Sub-Region: Havelock North

Vineyard Sourced primarily from estate vineyards on the north-facing slopes of the Havelock North hills. The fruit is hand-harvested to maintain its integrity before undergoing traditional barrel fermentation.

Wine Sophisticated, full-bodied Chardonnay that showcases ripe nectarine and citrus peel. The barrel fermentation adds layers of toasted brioche and a creamy texture, while maintaining a clean, vibrant line of acidity.
