Aurum Organic Central Otago Chardonnay 2019 $45 
You can announce to your friends as you pour this wine. “The soils in which Aurum’s certified organic, chardonnay grapes grow, are comprised of fluvial, glacial silts and gravels”. Now quickly go and Google ‘fluvial’ to school yourself up in advance. The desert-dry heat of the Lowburn region creates peachy intensity for French winemaker (and busy mum) Lucie Lawrence to caress with a wild fermentation in seasoned oak barrels to build this complex, creamy, nutty style. Soft, fresh and enticing, enjoy with miso-baked hapuka steaks.
