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.

Our wine

How does Chardonnay 2017 taste?

Immediately appealing and expressive, the 2017 Chardonnay is beautifully layered. Ripe orchard fruits and ripe peach on the nose are framed by subtle spice and gentle notes of roasted hazelnut. Vibrant freshness perfectly balances the palate's rounded nectarine and greengage fruit core. Intense and concentrated, with a long finish of stone fruit and citrus florals.
