CURRENT VINTAGE: 2025 Escarpment Chardonnay
A beautifully floral Chardonnay, showcasing lifted aromatics and youthful
exuberance on release. Aromas of ripe peach and lemon curd are layered over
the flinty mineral notes’ characteristic of Martinborough.
Cool nights during the growing season have preserved freshness, lending the
wine drive, focus, and precision, while a generous palate brings depth, texture,
and mouthfeel. Built on elegance and restraint, it reflects the distinct terroir of
the region.
