A singular wine produced from a special and unique vineyard on the Waterford Estate property. Vines were planted in 1988 making it one of the oldest Chardonnay vineyards in the country.
This Chardonnay vineyard was registered as a single vineyard in 2012, which ensures that the traceability of the wine produced exclusively to the original 5.8-hectare block. Soils are comprised of red clay (Hutton) as well as large granite deposits and parent material found throughout the clay profile. The clay adds structure to the wine, while the granite produces great minerality and finesse to the overall presentation.
TASTING NOTES: A bright and vibrant olive-green hue on this single vineyard Chardonnay. The aromatics of this wine are driven by fresh peach pip, lime and a light touch of oak from barrel fermentation and aging. Our older vines still prove to produce lovely restrained, tightly structured wines that are rather perfumed when young, but develop beautifully during bottle maturation.
PAIRING SUGGESTIONS: Pork, rich fish (salmon, tuna, etc.), vegetarian, poultry, cheese and savoury pastries.
