This wine presents aromatics that are very clean and precise; fresh ripe white peach, florals of jasmine blended with a delicate spice note. The palate is complex, with great weight and precision and a lingering finish that is a hallmark of the Craighall Chardonnay. You'll love the unforced feel of this wine, no overt oak or fermentation characters, just a great representation of the Martinborough Terrace terroir.

Craighall, Ata Rangi's premium Chardonnay, is from prized blocks of low-yielding Mendoza clone vines. The oldest, now over 30 years of age, are situated directly opposite the Ata Rangi home block in the heart of the deep, free-draining gravels that make up the Martinborough Terrace.

Hand-picked fruit was whole bunch pressed, with the unsettled juice fully barrel fermented in Burgundy barriques (24% new) using indigenous yeasts. Partial malolactic. Aged in barrel on lees for 12 months.
