2022 Pondering Chardonnay – A rich bouquet of nectarine, Meyer lemon and butterscotch are inter-mingled with aromas of freshly baked bread. The palate has a full texture with good acidity making this wine a perfect aperitif or paired with food.
The wine: Our estate grown grapes were whole bunch pressed, settled lightly and then transferred into old French barriques. Fermentation with indigenous yeast took place over 5 months at 14-19°C followed by 100% malolactic fermentation. The wine was lightly filtered for brightness and clarity. Harvested
The winemaker: Our Chardonnay winemaker is Central Otago legend Dean Shaw. Dean has been making wine with grapes from more than a dozen different vineyards for 18 years, which probably makes him one of the most experienced winemakers in the Central Otago and Queenstown Lakes areas. He started his education in New Zealand before travelling to France where he studied winemaking in Burgundy, Austria and South Africa, and has worked with a number of Central Otago and Queenstown wineries.
