VALLI Mawson Chardonnay 2023

VALLI Mawson Chardonnay 2023

• Region: Central Otago
• Sub-Region: Waitaki Valley

Vineyard Sourced from the Mawson vineyard on the limestone-rich terraces of the Waitaki Valley. This fringe, cool-climate site features unique ancient seabed geology, which imparts a distinctive mineral energy and structural focus to the low-yielding vines.

Wine A structural and highly intellectual Chardonnay. It unfurls with high-toned citrus, white flowers, and an intense stony minerality. The palate is linear and crystalline, showcasing a remarkable tension and a long, saline finish typical of the Waitaki terroir.
