From the dramatic landscapes of Central Otago, this Chardonnay from Felton Road captures the precision and purity that have made Bannockburn one of New Zealand’s most respected sub-regions. Farmed biodynamically and crafted with minimal intervention, the wine reflects both site and season with remarkable clarity.

In the glass, expect layers of citrus peel, white peach and nectarine, underpinned by subtle struck-flint complexity and finely integrated oak. The palate is textured yet taut, with vibrant acidity carrying through to a long, mineral-driven finish. Elegant, poised and age-worthy, it’s a Chardonnay that combines New World fruit intensity with Burgundian restraint — serious, but never heavy.
