Maori Point Chardonnay 2022

Every few years, for especially promising vintages, Māori Point make a Chardonnay.

In 2021, they worked with Te Kano Estate to source Chardonnay grapes from their Ridge Vineyard in near Northburn. 

The long cool fermentation and extended time on lees (with some lees stirring) in the Māori Point barrel hall contribute to a richly textured and yet classically structured Chardonnay.

Flavours of meyer lemon, apple, chamomile and caramel transition to hazelnut and buttery brioche, accented by a long finish.

Delicious now and will age well for 8 or more years.
