Hunter’s Chardonnay 2025

Chardonnay grapes were sourced from the Rapaura and Omaka sub-regions of Marlborough. We have sourced fruit from these same vineyards for many years, providing the wine with a high level of consistency.

The grapes were hand-picked and pressed without the addition of sulphur into a stainless-steel vat. The cloudy juice was then transferred to 500-litre French oak puncheons for fermentation. Indigenous yeasts were employed for alcoholic fermentation, after which 80% of the wine underwent malolactic fermentation.

The wine was aged on its yeast lees in puncheons for 12 months before being racked off its lees in preparation for bottling.
