product description
Auntsfield Single Vineyard Chardonnay 2023
Reviews
Sam Kim, Wine Orbit: 94/100. It's elegant and inviting on the nose with aromas of ripe peach, rockmelon, lemon peel, subtle vanilla, and toasted almond. The palate delivers excellent weight and silky flow, beautifully complemented by creamy texture and finely pitched acidity, finishing persistent and stylish. At its best: now to 2033.
Tasting Note
This wine presents itself in a rich straw gold. The nose is intense and complex, dominated by aromas of peach skin, mandarin, and a delicate lemon tart. The maturation in French oak barrels introduces elegant notes of brioche and apricot nougat. On the palate, a ripe richness of stone fruit like peach and dried apricot unfolds, complemented by subtle hints of roasted hazelnut and fig. Its impressive length and the subtle, supporting minerality make this wine an unforgettable experience.

Additional information
Wine type: White wine from New Zealand
Grape varial: Chardonnay
Food match: Chicken, pork, creamy dishes, crayfish
Vineyard: Auntsfield Estate, Southern Valleys, Marlborough. Naturally low-cropping mature vine Clone 15 is planted in the ancient Greywacke rock and Loess clay soils of this excellent chardonnay vineyard. The naturally cooler climate in the Southern Valleys intensifies flavours and aromas, whilst keeping bright acidity.
Growing Season: The 2023 season was excellent. Regular winter rainfall and a cool spring encouraged canopy growth but kept cropping levels at a balanced level. Summer had regular rainfall but stayed relatively cool resulting in healthy vines with no disease or water stress. There was a slow progression into autumn with a long drawn-out ripening period where the fruit reached optimum ripeness in perfect harvest conditions.
Winemaking: The fruit for this wine was hand harvested and whole bunch pressed. The juice was fermented in French oak barrels with indigenous (from Auntsfield vineyard) yeast. Maturation on yeast lees allowed the oak flavours to subtly integrate with the fruit to develop depth and complexity in the wine.
