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 2018 taste?

Bright and refined. Subtle hints of spice in the nose are mellowed with candied citrus, stone fruit and orchard blossom. It is fresh and beguiling, hinting at depth and complexity still to come. The palate is rounded, with gentle citrus and white peach wrapped in crème pâtissière and hazelnut.
