Cloudy Bay Chardonnay is one for connoisseurs and gastronomic adventurers: refined, poised and balanced. Painstakingly made using traditional techniques, it is a true ‘food wine’. Fruit from vineyards in the stony soils of Wairau Valley and the dense clay of the Southern Valleys work together to create a wine that marries ripe stone fruit and citrusy elegance.

A cooler year than Marlborough is used to led to long, slow and gentle ripening. The Chardonnay 2009 on release was appealing, with notes of pink grapefruit and ripe peach, balanced by savoury nougat and toast.
