Selaks 'The Taste Collection' Buttery Chardonnay (750ml) is a celebration of the generous, unashamedly bold flavours that have made this historic winery a household name across New Zealand for over 90 years. Sourced from premier vineyards across Hawke's Bay—including the legendary, sun-drenched soils of the Bridge Pa Triangle—this wine is specifically crafted for those who adore the rich, indulgent side of Chardonnay. True to its name, this iconic drop is luxuriously smooth, decadent, and creamy, delivering the ultimate mouth-coating experience that simply melts on the palate.
Pure Indulgence, Flawlessly Balanced
The secret behind its distinct texture lies in partial fermentation and maturation in premium French oak barrels, combined with full malolactic fermentation. This winemaking process gives the wine its unmistakable, velvety weight while allowing a vibrant line of Hawke's Bay acidity and exceptional fruit density to keep the entire profile lively, fresh, and beautifully integrated.
Tasting Notes
  • Aroma: A gorgeous mid-straw golden pour in the glass. The nose is deeply inviting, bursting with warm, fragrant aromas of toasty brioche, vanilla bean paste, and freshly baked puff pastry, balanced by a core of juicy, ripe stone fruits.
  • Palate: Unabashedly lush, full, and creamy. It coats the mouth with decadent flavours of vanilla custard, buttery brioche, and hazelnut cream, while letting delightful, sweet characters of golden peach and ripe nectarine shine brightly through the middle.
  • Finish: Seamless and ultra-velvety. It glides effortlessly into a long, warming, and comforting finish defined by lingering baking spices, sweet oak, and a velvety softness that begs for another glass.
