Notes

2020 Harvest was another stand-out vintage for the Nelson region. Starting with a warm spring, it continued on through a long, hot and very dry summer and autumn resulting in superb, clean, ripe fruit packed with intense flavours perfect for making sensational wine. The Moutere’s famous clay soils produce stunning Chardonnays of distinction and this Nelson beauty is no exception. Shows soft candy-apply and spice on the nose with a lifted palate of generous peach and pear flavours backed by an elegant buttery spice richness. A balanced and well-integrated wine from another fabulous Nelson vintage. Drink young and fresh through to 2024.

Food Pairing

Best enjoyed with poached salmon, slow cooked porkor a crisp Caeser salad

Cellar

A wine best enjoyed now but will cellar well for quite a few years to come.

Reviews & Awards

5 Stars - Sam Kim, Wine Orbit 2021

By Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

Stylish and satisfying, the wine shows complex aromas of golden peach, baked fig, French vanilla and spicy oak characters, followed by a wonderfully weighted palate delivering silken texture and beautifully pitched acidity. Generous and flavoursome with a lingering opulent finish
