The Delta Chardonnay is an elegant and classic Marlborough Chardonnay, medium bodied with a well rounded palate.
Ripe stone fruit flavours were enhanced through fermentation in French and American seasoned oak barrqiues and stainless steel tanks. Secondary characteristics such as spice, vanilla and biscuit notes developed with malolactic fermentation, lees stirring and oak ageing.

This is gorgeously styled and expressed on the nose showing ripe peach, rockmelon, vanilla, roasted cashew and subtle brioche characters on the nose, leading to a beautifully weighted palate that is finely textured and creamy. The wine offers delightful fruit purity as well as elegant complexity, finishing long and delectable. At its best: now to 2022.
