This Chardonnay reveals the Clos’s limestone character through crystalline precision and layered aromatics.

White peach, lime zest and green plum, with biscuit and cedar. Fine barrel texture is balanced by grapefruit acidity and a saline finish.

Single-vineyard fruit from the Clos Ostler monopole in the Waitaki Valley. Chardonnay clone 95 is grown on the estate’s north-facing limestone soils, where the extended growing season preserves acidity and mineral tension.

The fruit was harvested by hand and whole-bunch pressed. Fermentation took place entirely in French oak barriques with ambient yeast. The wine completed malolactic fermentation and remained in barrel for 11 months.
