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.

How does Chardonnay 2011 taste?
The 2011 vintage was a "classic" year, neither too hot nor too cold or wet, and creating some great examples. The 2011 Chardonnay was a classic example of Marlborough Chardonnay with ripe fruit and vibrant acidity held in perfect balance.
