2024 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 2024 Kaikora Vineyard Chardonnay fruit was 100% hand-picked by the Greer family and friends group, as it is every year.
The front label is a stylised representation of the aerial view of the vineyard.

"Aromatically, the wine leads with cut pear, fresh fennel, pink grapefruit, white pepper and sweet crunchy apple. In the mouth, the saline acidity leads the attack, trailing the fruit flavors out over the long, textural finish. This is a penetrating, sapid wine, with an intensity of flavor that is coupled with a lightness of touch. It is restrained, composed and tight—just super."
