Overview:
Cable Bay Vineyards Chardonnay Waiheke Island 2021 is crafted from naturally low-yielding, old vines, offering vibrancy, depth and coastal complexity. A Chardonnay that balances juicy fruit purity with mineral salinity and oak influence, it is both elegant and charming, expressing the character of Waiheke Island with precision and finesse.
Tasting Notes:
Fresh aromas of grapefruit, peach and earthy clay pot mingle with subtle oak nuances. The palate is focused and finely textured, displaying layers of tree fruit and mineral acidity. Saline coastal influence and fine phenolic grip provide depth and length, while a creamy undertone adds balance to the wine’s taut, elegant frame.
