Welcoming back to our Estate Range - the highly anticipated Mount Michael Chardonnay is back for 2021.

A stunning Chardonnay expressive of the Central Otago region in which our grapes are sourced.

Made only in very small quantities, this single vineyard, hand crafted, cool climate wine is a delightful expression.

Tasting Notes

Aroma

The 2021 Mount Michael Chardonnay is brimming with delightful pear, quince, brioche and almond aromas on the nose.

Palate
Medium weight and body, the primary fruits are complemented by créme brulee and baking spice notes enhanced by a touch of oak. There is a refreshing acidity to this wine and a gentle phenolic grip to round out the long, elegant finish.

Reviews

The Real Review - Bob Campbell MW

Delicately aromatic chardonnay with appealing floral notes together with mandarin and gentle saline characters. Nice purity and subtle power with a lingering finish. Distinctive wine that has been made with a light touch.

Sam Kim for Wine Orbit

It's elegantly composed and expressed with white flesh stone fruit, lemon pith, oatmeal and roasted cashew notes on the nose, followed by a finely focused palate offering bright fruit flavours together with a refined texture and juicy acidity, finishing wonderfully persistent and linear. At its best : now to 2028.

Cameron Douglas MS

Attractive bouquet with cashew nut, light baking spices and varietal core fruit signature of grapefruit, white peach and apple. A light toasty sweetness and gentle smoke layer from wood adds complexity and depth. Youthful, fresh and enticing. Lovely weight and texture on the palate with a light silky-cream quality then flavours of citrus with grapefruit showing first then apple and some peach. Light wood tannins and acidity add in structure and length. Well made, new and ready to drink from 2023 through 2027+.
