Hunting Lodge Homeblock Chardonnay 2020

Hunting Lodge Homeblock Chardonnay 2020

• Region: Auckland
• Sub-Region: Waimauku

Vineyard Sourced from the historic Waimauku home block, one of Auckland's most established vineyard sites. The heavy clay soils and warm, humid climate produce a Chardonnay with significant power and a distinctively ripe, tropical profile.

Wine A bold and textural Auckland Chardonnay. It opens with ripe nectarine and hints of butterscotch, moving into a rich, full-bodied palate balanced by a savory, mealy complexity and high-quality French oak influence.

Food Pairings

• Slow-roasted pork belly with fennel
• Baked brie with a honey glaze
• Duck confit with a stone fruit reduction
