2023 Kaikora Vineyard Chardonnay
A single vineyard Chardonnay from Kaikora Vineyard in Ōtāne. Kaikora is the original name for the town of Ōtāne in Central Hawke’s Bay. The name was changed to avoid confusion with Kaikōura in the South Island.
Kaikora Vineyard Chardonnay is a part of our project to highlight some of the most unique, small vineyards in Hawke’s Bay.
The front label is a stylised representation of the aerial view of the vineyard.

"The 2023 Kaikora Vineyard Chardonnay is salty and spicy, with shaved fennel and salted peach, white flowers and ground white pepper. The wine is soft though the finish, in watercolour as opposed to il, and this potentially fits with the wet conditions of the season. This is a remarkable effort given the conditions, and more than that, the year has gifted the wine with levity and lacy detail."
