“First made in 1990, Church Road Hawke’s Bay Chardonnay remains our most popular wine. Predominantly grown in cooler appellations around Hawke’s Bay,
Chardonnay in these vineyards retains vibrant fruit flavours and gentle, balanced acidity. Barrel fermentation and aging on yeast lees overlays toasty brioche, roasted hazelnut notes and hints of smoke while also filling out the palate and bringing an element of creaminess.
The result is a flavoursome, complex Chardonnay that is unashamedly just a little bit old school.” Chris Scott, Winemaker
