Maxim Single Vineyard Chardonnay 2024

Maxim Single Vineyard Chardonnay 2024

• Region: Hawke's Bay
• Sub-Region: Mangatahi Terraces

Vineyard Sourced from a specific, premium block on the Mangatahi river terraces. The high altitude and cool nights of this inland site allow for a prolonged ripening period, resulting in fruit with intense flavor concentration and a precise, crystalline acidity.

Wine A highly polished and sophisticated single-vineyard expression. It offers a focused palate of white peach and citrus blossom, supported by extended lees aging that adds a fine-grained, creamy texture and a long, saline mineral finish.

Food Pairings

• Pan-seared scallops with a cauliflower purée
• Roasted quail with a bread sauce
• Fresh oysters with a shallot vinaigrette
