Founders' Cellar Mustang Vineyard Chardonnay 2021

DescriptionDetails

The 2021 Founders’ Cellar Mustang Chardonnay is immediately open and expressive in the glass, the wine unfurling with notes of ripe pear, white nectarine, hints of blossom flower and a subtle touch of praline. On the palate, there is a concentrated core of juicy nectarine and white peach that feels rounded and plump in the mouth, freshened and balanced by a fine vein of citrus acidity that runs through the wine, leading through a delicious, long finish.

A key vineyard

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.
