Made by Lynnette Hudson, formally of Pegasus Bay, this wine is vibrant yet delicate. It pulses with flavors of lemon oil, wildflowers and minerals. The palate is highly textural, crunching with acidity and crackling with minerality. There's oodles of lemony fruit and a saline finish in this long, elegant, ethereal and terroir-driven wine. Editors' Choice.
Complex and elegant, with pear, peach and yellow apple flavors that are sleek and satiny. Hints of hazelnut, spice and a touch of sea salt linger on the finish. Drink now through 2030.
Sourced from growers in Waipara, the 2018 North Canterbury Chardonnay comes across as riper and more opulent than the 2019 version, with stone fruit, citrus and pencil shavings on the nose, a generous, medium-bodied feel on the palate and a silky-textured finish.
