Old vine Mendoza Chardonnay from Waipara Springs on Omihi clay soils, planted between 1982-1986.

Slightly hazy, unfiltered appearance with a golden lemon hue. Complex mineral nose with hazelnut, grilled almond notes supported by ripe stone fruits, citrus fruits and an underlying salinity. Outstanding length and complexity, this will age for 10+ years if properly cellared.
