About the wine
.
- This golden yellow summer-in-a-glass chardonnay is made on the banks of the Ngaruroro River, in Hawke's Bay New Zealand
- Produced by the talented Emma Lowe in her non-interventionist vineyard, it's delicious for drinking right now but can be kept for up to 5 years
- The rich, ripe fruity flavours, with a hint of yummy buttery toasted oak, won the wine onto the Naked Warehouse shelves!

This was the wine that brought me back to Chardonnay. I recently visited Emma whilst in New Zealand, its even nicer when drunk at her kitchen table ;-)

I was longing for a full buttery chardonnay and bought this after searching on Naked for a chardonnay. It is very drinkable and went well with smoked salmon and eel managing to cut through the richness.

A bit sharper than my usual chardonnays but still loverly. Went down far too easy and finished the bottle without realising.

Hi Holly, Thanks for the feedback. The acidity level in the Chardonnay is due to our vineyard site. Warm enough to get the lovely ripe flavours but with cooler nights which help keep the acidity level up.
