Founders' Cellar Mustang Vineyard Chardonnay 2022
The 2022 Founders’ Cellar Mustang Chardonnay is an open and appealing wine on the nose that recalls warm summer days, with notes of ripe white peach, russet apple and a hint of pleasing vanilla. On the palate, those summery notes carry through onto the palate, where they are hemmed in by a deliciously mouth-watering acidity. Subtle oak characters add a gentle toasted note as if leading away from summer towards the first distant autumn bonfire.

Mustang Vineyard
The grapes for this wine come from our Mustang Vineyard, located in the Southern Valleys area of Marlborough’s Wairau Valley. Mustang is an important vineyard for the main three varieties that we grow. The high clay content in the soils allows for greater water retention, creating the ideal environment for Chardonnay.
