Single Vineyard Marlborough Chardonnay 2014

Deliciously moreish with savoury flavours, this quiche helps our Single Vineyard Chardonnay shine - oozing fragrant citrus and gunflint characters.

From the Winemakers:

“A complex Chardonnay with flinty sulphides and charry oak complimenting a backbone of fresh citrus. The palate is textured and structural, held together seamlessly with a core of vibrant acidity. A style of Chardonnay I love to make and love to drink.”

~ Greg Rowdon
