Very floral on the nose with stone-fruit flowers, quince and candied nuts. Lively and vibrant in the mouth, with a fantastic creamy texture. Melon and stone-fruit combine with fresh pastries on the finish.

The 2021 Wildsong Chardonnay comes from a vineyard at Mangatahi at the base of the Ruahine Ranges one of the highest wine growing areas in Hawke’s Bay. Planted on ancient river terraces that were formed by the Ngaruroro River, greywacke, deep shingle and volcanic ash make up the soil profile, while long warm days and cool nights define the wines and bring freshness and an intense flavour profile.

Grapes were harvested early in the morning, gently pressed and fermented in stainless steel to maximise fruit purity and intensity. A cool ferment and a couple of months resting on yeast lees before the wine was prepared for bottling has helped create a rich palate and a little more complexity.

Wildsong wines are uncomplicated and grounded with a gentle tale or two to tell of the soil they were grown in and the people who made them. Grown with respect, made with heart and packed with attitude. There’s a little Wildsong in each of us.
