100% grown from Escarpment’s Te Muna Road site in what can be considered a remarkable chardonnay. This wine is rich, layered and textured with bold flavours of stone fruit. Made by Larry McKenna who is legendary on the Martinborough wine scene. Can be cellared for 5 or so years if you have the patience, this wine is full of interest.

Australian Gourmet Traveller Wine, February/March 2015
Powerful opulent flavours and a flinty mineral backbone combine beautifully with barrel fermentation to produce this Burgundian-inspired chardonnay. Flavours are reminiscent of white stone fruit with the soft texture ensuring a long commanding finish. Partial malolactic fermentation and lees stirring enhance the complexity.
Winemaker Notes

100% grown from Escarpment’s Te Muna Road site in what can be considered a long cool season. The summer allowed fruit to ripen slowly, producing powerful opulent flavours and a flinty mineral backbone which combine beautifully with barrel fermentation to create Burgundian inspired Chardonnay.
