Founders' Cellar Unoaked Chardonnay 2024
The 2024 Founders’ Cellar Unoaked Chardonnay is open on the nose, giving the impression of an orchard on a warm day, melding notes of ripe apples, blossom and something akin to hay. The palate is redolent with similar notes that are found on the nose, combined with juicy white nectarine and a ripe lemony acidity and a hint of saline, which bring freshness and balance.

Mustang Vineyard
40% grown under organic management by one of our growers to the east of the town of Blenheim. The soils there are a little richer, creating intense fruit-forward characters in the wine. The rest is from our Mustang vineyard, located in the Southern Valleys area of Marlborough’s Wairau Valley. The high clay content in the soils allows for greater water retention, creating the ideal environment for Chardonnay.
