Most of us know New Zealand for Sauvignon Blanc, but the Chardonnay competes with White Burgundy. What's more is it fits a tight wine budget nicely.

Wines Mentioned

Single Vineyard Chardonnay

Auntsfield Estate

2020 Single Vineyard Chardonnay

Ripe and intense stone fruit flavors of peach and dried apricot complimented by hints of roasted hazelnut. A tight and linear palate with underlying minerality concludes with seamless length.
