Product Notes

Escarpment Chardonnay is a quintessentially opulent New Zealand wine, renowned for its lush creaminess and compelling complexity. Crafted in the Martinborough region, its bouquet boasts layers of citrus fruits, vanilla and a subtle minerality. On the palate, notes of lemon, pear and peach are effortlessly sugar-coated in a stylishly oaked perfume. This beautifully balanced Chardonnay delivers a pleasingly rich mouthfeel, featuring a clinquant bright acidity and a lingering finish. Offering superb versatility, Escarpment Chardonnay is a superior selection for those seeking a supreme sipping experience and a delightful match to a variety of dishes.

Tasting Notes

Powerful opulent flavours and a flinty mineral backbone combine beautifully with barrel fermentation to create a Burgundian-inspired Chardonnay. Flavours are reminiscent of white stone fruit with delightful soft texture ensuring a long, commanding finish.
