✨ Tekniske specifikationer

Villa Maria, founded in 1961 by Sir George Fistonich, stands as a pioneering force in New Zealand's modern wine industry. The Reserve Chardonnay from Hawke's Bay represents a masterclass in New World Chardonnay production, sourced from prestigious vineyards across this sun-drenched region. Hawke's Bay's unique terroir—characterized by ancient river terraces, gravelly soils, and a warm maritime climate—provides the perfect canvas for Chardonnay. This wine is crafted using traditional techniques, including wild yeast fermentation in French oak barriques, followed by extensive lees stirring (bâtonnage) and partial malolactic fermentation. The result is a beautifully complex white wine that seamlessly marries ripe stone fruit and citrus aromas with toasted brioche, roasted nuts, and a creamy, textured palate, all underpinned by the signature vibrant acidity of New Zealand.
