This wine features a sensational collection of Chardonnay sites. The Lyons vineyard is located in close proximity to Gimblett Road. Young low yielding plants in alluvial silt loams add depth of flavour to the blend. Located on the easterly plateau of Maraekakaho, the fruit from the prestigious Keltern site is grown on mature vines in sandy loam over red stained metals. Hand harvested on different dates the various clones and sites provided an exciting array of blending options.
