Church Road Gwen Chardonnay 2024

Church Road Gwen Chardonnay 2024

• Region: Hawke's Bay
• Sub-Region: Central Coast / Coastal Sites

Vineyard The Gwen series focuses on elegance and freshness, taking fruit from cooler, coastal-influenced sites in Hawke's Bay. This allows for a shorter ripening period that preserves high-toned aromatics and a delicate fruit structure.

Wine An elegant and contemporary style. This wine is lighter on its feet than the Grand Reserve, offering pretty floral notes, crisp pear, and a subtle mealy complexity. The oak is used sparingly to frame the bright, energetic citrus core.

Food Pairings

• Fresh summer salads with goat cheese
• Poached white fish with salsa verde
• Vietnamese spring rolls
