If you’re looking for a chardonnay bursting with hazelnut, citrus and hints of toast and smoke then this is for you.  North Canterbury has real talent for producing chardonnay that shows sensational minerality and combine that with a skilled winemaker who can create creamy, nutty notes in the palate spectrum – then you’ve got a great little sip.  The vines are 15 years old and grow on Glasnevin gravels soils on MacKenzies Rd in the heart of Waipara, and they’ve done a great job creating grapefruity goodness here.
