Dashwood Marlborough Chardonnay (750ml) is a wonderfully vibrant, crisp, and multi-layered white wine that captures the pure, energetic soul of New Zealand’s premier wine region. Named after the scenic Dashwood pass that connects the Wairau and Awatere Valleys, this highly acclaimed label is crafted by the award-winning team at Vavasour Wines. Sourced from estate-managed vineyards across Marlborough’s river terraces, this contemporary wine delivers a plush, succulent, and perfectly balanced profile where bright, sun-drenched orchard fruits are enhanced by a sophisticated, subtle touch of oak richness.
River Terrace Terroir & Textural Elegance
The secret behind its distinct texture lies in the cool-climate viticulture of the valley floors, where stony alluvial soils naturally limit vine vigor to produce grapes with intense fruit density and concentration. In the cellar, the winemakers employ a careful combination of stainless steel tank and seasoned French oak barrel fermentation. Maturation on its fine yeast lees introduces a lovely, rounded mid-palate weight and a delicate creaminess, while Marlborough's signature cool nights ensure the wine retains a lively line of crisp freshness.
Tasting Notes
  • Aroma: Highly expressive, fresh, and invitingly complex. The nose opens with a fragrant bouquet of ripe yellow nectarine, white peach, and orange blossom, seamlessly layered over a savory backdrop of roasted almonds, toasted brioche, and a hint of creamy vanilla spice.
  • Palate: Medium-to-full-bodied, smooth, and wonderfully juicy. The palate treats the mouth to a succulent, flesh-driven core of stone fruit, pink grapefruit, and lemon curd, supported by a finely textured, velvety mouthfeel.
  • Finish: Crisp, dry, and exceptionally clean. It tapers off into a persistent finish driven by a precise line of refreshing citrus acidity and a lingering, subtle touch of warm savory oak.
