Blend and Origin
Cloudy Bay Chardonnay 2014
This 100% chardonnay is sourced from four Marlborough blocks, each vineyard bringing a unique flavour profile and structure. After a challenging harvest, the grapes were brought to the winery for a gentle pressing. The juice was barrel-fermented in French oak (18% new) with wild yeasts, then aged on lees for a year to acquire its creamy mouthfeel and spicy complexity.
This product can only be purchased by persons over 18 years of age.
