This lovely unoaked Chardonnay offers ripe peach flavors with hints of hazelnut and a creamy finish. Our Natural Wine Co Organic Chardonnay is produced from our Coastal Vineyard Manutuke and Ormond Valley vineyard.
These grapes are harvested at peak ripeness, thanks to low yields and 3-cane pruning. Typically, they are picked at around 22-24 brix.
Our Natural Wine Co Chardonnay is fermented in stainless steel tank, cool fermented and minimal time on yeast lees, to ensure a clean fresh style.
This wine is made from certified organic grapes and bio-dynamically grown grapes from our Coastal Vineyard in Manutuke and Ormond Valley vineyard.
This wine is low allergen – low sulphur, minimal additives and produced without any animal by products.
In making this wine, we sponsor the local Women’s Native Tree Project in Gisborne. The Natural Wine Co partners with The Women’s Native Tree Project Trust, providing financial support and donations through sales of our wines, with the Trust’s logo featured on our wines. We sponsor their initiatives to grow and donate native trees to community spaces, and our ongoing contributions help restore our Salt Marsh Lagoon Native Tree area, where we planted 400 trees in June 2020 and 2024.
Candice – Raymond Chan Wine Reviews – :
85 pts, 4 stars – Excellent
“Bright, even, pale yellow with a slight green hue. The nose is softly full, with moderately deep aromas of stonefruit, quince, pastry and a suggestion of cashew. Medium-bodied, dried to taste, aromas of quince melded with nectarine, cashew paste and sourdough crust. The flavours are softly mouth-filling and underlined by a light powdery grip. Fresh acidity enlivens the mouthfeel and flows with good energy to a lingering finish. This is a soft and elegant Chardonnay with a smooth flow and freshness. Match with dumplings and fish over the next 2 years.”
