Heaphy Moutere Chardonnay 2024
Ok, we have found it... An NZ Chardonnay that is chocka block with flavour, power and length. Not only is this a very engaging and rewarding wine. It is also well priced when you consider the quality and the fact it is from Moutere and older vines.
"Elegant and complex, the wine shows rockmelon, fig, vanillin oak, and brioche characters on the nose, followed by a wonderfully weighted palate offering silky texture and beautifully infused acidity. Harmonious and flavoursome, making it highly appealing. At its best: now to 2030." 5 Stars & 94/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, March 2025
"A single, dry-grown Mendoza-clone vineyard on original rootstock planted in 1993, this is a deliciously structured Chardonnay with bright generous fruit, a powerful breadth in the palate. Muscular, bold and pleasing it's a proper glass of what is arguably New Zealand's, let alone Nelson's most exciting variety." Winery notes (2024 Vintage)
