The Landing Chardonnay (750ml) is a stunning, highly acclaimed expression of single-vineyard winemaking from the sub-tropical paradise of the Bay of Islands, Northland. Crafted on a spectacular coastal estate steeped in heritage, this premium Chardonnay thrives in the region's warm climate, clay soils, and cool sea breezes. Meticulously barrel-fermented and aged in fine French oak, it represents a sophisticated, beautifully balanced style that effortlessly pairs classic New Zealand stone fruit richness with a refined, flinty maritime character.
Coastal Terroir & Sophisticated Elegance
The unique north-facing coastal slopes of the vineyard allow the grapes to develop rich, concentrated fruit profiles while retaining a mouthwatering line of natural acidity. The careful use of wild yeast fermentation and light lees stirring imparts a gorgeous complexity, giving the wine structural weight and texture without letting the oak overwhelm the pure expression of the coastal land.
Tasting Notes
  • Aroma: A bright straw-yellow pour. The nose is highly aromatic and complex, revealing elegant layers of ripe yellow peach, white nectarine, and citrus zest, beautifully accented by hints of toasted almonds, floral blossoms, and a subtle matchstick reduction.
  • Palate: Generous, precise, and finely textured. The palate delivers a core of succulent stone fruits and preserved lemon, building into a beautifully rounded mid-palate layered with subtle cashew nut and spice.
  • Finish: Long, driving, and impeccably clean. It trails off with a crisp, mineral-saline edge and a refreshing acidity that speaks directly to its ocean-front terroir.
