Collaboration Aurulent Chardonnay 2023

Collaboration Aurulent Chardonnay 2023

• Region: Hawke's Bay
• Sub-Region: Bridge Pa Triangle / Tuki Tuki Valley

Vineyard Aurulent is a "collaboration" between specific vineyard sites, blending the structural power of the Bridge Pa Triangle with the aromatic lift of the Tuki Tuki Valley. Meticulous fruit selection is key to achieving this harmonious balance.

Wine A highly polished and sophisticated Chardonnay. It unfurls with layers of nectarine, white peach, and refined flinty notes. The palate is seamless and beautifully proportioned, showcasing high-quality oak integration and a persistent, silky finish.
