Paritua Willow Chardonnay 2022

Paritua 'Willow' Chardonnay 2022

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

Vineyard Grown on the alluvial stony soils of the Paritua vineyard in the Bridge Pa Triangle. The viticulture focuses on low yields and hand-tending to ensure the fruit captures the warmth of the site, resulting in grapes with exceptional physiological ripeness and structural depth.

Wine An elegant and complex expression that showcases the power of the Bridge Pa terroir. It offers a sophisticated bouquet of stone fruit, grapefruit, and a hint of gunflint. The palate is richly textured with a vibrant spine of acidity and perfectly integrated French oak.
