Høst 4.–27. marts 2024; vingårde Walnut Ridge, Cambrae, Craighall; Mendoza og kloner 95 og 548; delvis malolaktisk. Producentens tekst (engelsk): Pōtiki, meaning ‘last born’ in Maori, is blended from a selection of newer plantings and some of our more established blocks on the Martinborough Terrace. Barrel fermented in 300 litre puncheons with indigenous yeasts, followed by 11 months on lees, brings subtle complexity. The 2024 was an exceptional vintage, this Pōtiki Chardonnay delivers on power, depth and freshness. Aromas of yellow fleshed nectarine, bergamot and apple pudding meld with savoury notes of miso paste and sesame seed cake. The palate entry has flavours of crushed shell, hints of lanolin and baked apple. There is great depth of flavour that spreads the whole palate, underpinned with a line of acidity that sweeps through the palate giving freshness on the finish.
