Zaria Chardonnay 2024

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

Vineyard Produced from a specific block in the warm Bridge Pa Triangle, where the ancient riverbed soils provide excellent drainage. The vineyard is managed with minimal inputs to preserve the natural vitality of the fruit and the specific signature of the site.

Wine A boutique, artisan Chardonnay that emphasizes texture and elegance. Fermented with indigenous yeasts, it shows a sophisticated array of white nectarine, grapefruit, and raw almond. The palate is seamless and long, with a refreshing saline mineral finish.
