New Release!
The 'big brother' of our Champion te Pa Chardonnay. This is a refined, sophisticated expression of single vineyard Marlborough fruit from the Cowley Family 'Auntsfield' vineyard in the Central Wairau Valley sub-region.
White peach and yellow grapefruit aromatics are supported by subtle cashew butter and citrus blossom aromatics.
Some high-quality oak adds a wisp of flinty smoke and some vanilla pod, curry leaf, and butterscotch notes.
The palate is beautifully textured, taut but elegant with a generosity of flavour. Marzipan, preserved lemon, and spice flavours sprinkled over a core of vanilla bean infused crème Brulé. A delicate oyster shell minerality gives way to a long lingering finish.
