"I’ve always been impressed with Craggy Range’s flagship Chardonnay but this is clearly the best yet. While earlier vintages have been complex and exciting they’ve also been a bit tough. This hand-picked whole-bunch-pressed wine was fermented, using indigenous yeasts, in French oak barriques (70% new) before 16 months maturation in barrel. A dry and powerful wine with appealing nutty, mealy characters adding extra interest to intense citrus fruit flavours."

The world's most versatile white grape, producing everything from steely Chablis to rich, oaked whites. Its neutrality makes it a mirror of terroir and winemaking, and the foundation of white Burgundy and Champagne.
