Product Description

This Sileni Estates chardonnay is made only in vintages that deliver, using select Hawke's Bay parcels. Gravel soils add power, while silt and clay loam bring a finer texture. The fruit is hand-harvested, whole-bunch pressed and fermented in French oak barriques, following Burgundy-inspired methods. Full malolactic fermentation adds richness, and ten months on gross lees gives the wine more depth.

Jamie Goode of Wine Anorak scored it 93/100: "This is generous with peach, pear and spice. There's rich fruit but also some appealing spicy oak."
