TASTING NOTES: This ripe and attractive Chardonnay has bright aromatics of stone fruit, florals and toasted nuts. It has a generous palate. Notes of nectarine and almonds supported by gentle oak spice. Hints of citrus, balanced acidity, and a fine phenolic profile keeps this Chardonnay refreshing on the palate. Some flint and smoky oak notes adding further intrigue as the wine builds in the glass.

BRAND NAME: Te Pa
Te Pa is one of only 6 wineries in NZ owned by Māori people. From the original 100ha vineyards, they grew to reach 500ha of land, mostly located in Marlborough’s Awatere Valley, with fantastic diversity of terroirs reflected in the wines. They consider themselves to be “Kaitiaki”, a native word for “guardians of the land”. Their efforts in preserving and developing this land are reflected in each unique line of wines of excellent quality.
