Harakeke Farm Chardonnay 2015

Harakeke Farm Chardonnay 2015

• Region: Nelson
• Sub-Region: Upper Moutere

Vineyard From a tiny, family-run vineyard in the Moutere hills. The vines grow in the famous Moutere clay soils, which are renowned for producing Chardonnay with significant depth, texture, and a distinctive mineral structural backbone.

Wine An aged release that showcases the longevity of Nelson Chardonnay. This 2015 vintage has developed complex secondary notes of toasted hazelnuts, honeyed citrus, and a subtle flinty reduction, all held together by a surprisingly youthful acid spine.
