Durvillea Chardonnay 2023

Durvillea Chardonnay 2023

• Region: Marlborough
• Sub-Region: Awatere Valley

Vineyard Named after a genus of seaweed found on the Marlborough coast, these vines are located in the cooler Awatere Valley. The windy, coastal conditions result in thick-skinned grapes with intense flavor concentration.

Wine Bright and focused Chardonnay that avoids heavy oak influence. It emphasizes pure fruit characters of lemon zest and white peach, with a distinct mineral streak and a crisp, refreshing acidity on the finish.

Food Pairings

• Fish and chips with tartare sauce
• Caesar salad with grilled chicken
