Villa Maria Private Bin Chardonnay 2023 x 12
Product Description
Winemakers Comment
This wine is fruit-driven in style, exhibiting ripe peach with underlying citrus
blossom and fig characters. On the palate, these flavours are enhanced
by a creamy texture and a delicate suggestion of oak. A medium bodied
Chardonnay that is styled for enjoyment upon release with or without food.
Serving Suggestion
Enjoy with seafood, chicken caesar salad or an antipasto platter.
Season & Viticulture
The 2023 season was warm with frequent late summer rain presenting a few
challenges. Meticulous vineyard management was crucial to retain healthy
vines and develop desired flavours in the fruit. Harvested throughout Hawkes
Bay and Gisborne regions where the maritime climate is perfect for slowly
ripening Chardonnay, promoting flavour, intensity and freshness.
Winemaking
Chardonnay fruit was gently pressed and juice fermented with light solids
in stainless steel tanks. Maturation on yeast lees in the presence of subtle
oak along with partial malolactic has created a mouth filling wine with gentle
texture and body.
