Vidal Reserve Chardonnay, Hawkes Bay
Juice from gently pressed grapes was racked with light lees to French oak barriques for fermentation. The oak barrels were selected to give a subtle flavour adding to the natural complexity gained from an extended maturation on the lees. Beautifully balanced it shows ripe tropical fruit, a complex minerality and elegant finish. One of the few wines that will match with creamy soups.
