100% grown from Escarpment’s Te Muna Road site in what can be considered a perfect, warm dry season.
The summer allowed a smaller crop than usual to ripen slowly, producing powerful opulent avours and a inty mineral backbone which combine beautifully with barrel fermentation to create Burgundian inspired Chardonnay. Flavours are reminiscent of white stone fruit with delightful soft texture ensuring a long commanding nish. Partial malolactic fermentation and lees stirring has enhanced the texture, complexity and mouth feel allowing it to match most entrée dishes and seafood.
It is an accurate re ection of Martinborough’s unique terroir. Cellar for up to ve years or more, successfully.
