Te Kano Wines Chardonnay 2021 (6 Bottles) Central Otago, NZ
$274.00 GST Included
SHIPPING INCLUDED ONLY IN NEW SOUTH WALES. WINE IS NOT AVAILABLE TO BE DELIVERED OUTSIDE NSW.
The Life Series captures the essence of Te Kano’s Estate vineyards, using parcels of fruit from across our sub-regions to give a snapshot of the season and our unique expression of Central Otago. A complex and elegant Chardonnay with aromas of white peach, melon, toasted coconut and creamy vanilla. Peach and pear follow through the palate with spicy oak nuances building into a complex array of brioche and biscuit undertones. A hint of citrus peel keeps the palate tight and fresh. This complex wine shows lovely poise and walks a fine line between richness and minerality.
Vintage
The 2020 season started cool and dry, with warmer Summer temperatures leading into a long, warm Autumn. The season delivered lower yields of small berries, with excellent ripeness and flavour concentration.
Vineyards
A combination of our Central Otago sub-regions. Northburn shows fine boned acidity, pure fresh fruit flavours and a crystalline minerality derived from Schist based soils, while Bannockburn gives rich ripe tropical notes and mid palate weight.
Varietal
100% Chardonnay, Mendoza clone.
Winemaking
Vineyard parcels were individually hand harvested and whole bunch pressed to tank for light settling. Barrel fermentation and extendedlees stirring over 9 months helped to build midpalate texture and complexity, prior to blending of selected barrels in Spring.
Description
Like all who come here, the Lloyd Family fell in love with the other- worldly beauty of Central Otago – the land and the lifestyle. The seed of a new future was sown; three vineyards, each planted with site specific varietals — including Central Otago’s signature Pinot Noir — allow our talented winemakers the luxury to select and blend only the most outstanding fruit each season.
Committed to rejuvenating the land and a sustainable future throughre-planting and excellent stewardship, the Te Kano is creating enduring sensory wine and lifestyle experiences which could come from nowhere else but Central Otago. Te Kano (Māori for seed), is for those who appreciate the rarest combination of layered elegance and sublime natural quality.
