Villa Maria Keltern Chardonnay
Product Description The Villa Maria Keltern Chardonnay 2022 is a sophisticated expression of New Zealand terroir, showcasing the exceptional qualities of the Keltern Vineyard in Hawkes Bay. A brilliant lime-tinted gold hue catches the eye, while the nose reveals an exotic bouquet of ripe stone fruit, fresh lemon, and warm brioche, balanced by hints of spicy French oak. The palate is full and silky, marked by vibrant natural acidity that carries through to an elegant, sustained finish. With cellaring, this Chardonnay promises to develop further, offering an evolving complexity with mineral undertones and subtle toast-like nuances. Maker Founded in 1961, Villa Maria has become one of New Zealand’s most celebrated wineries, recognised for its commitment to quality and sustainability. The Keltern Vineyard, established in 1999, holds a special place within Villa Maria’s portfolio, consistently producing award-winning Chardonnay. Over the years, Villa Maria has gained acclaim for its sustainable winemaking practices, ensuring each vintage showcases the unique character of its vineyard sites. Villa Maria's winemaking approach honours the region’s natural beauty, crafting wines that balance elegance with a sense of place. Vineyard The Keltern Vineyard sits east of Maraekakaho in Hawkes Bay, nestled along the cool edge of the Bridge Pa Triangle and bordered by the Ngaruroro River. Planted on an ancient riverbed, the vineyard’s unique soils—a combination of silt loams layered over red metals and gravel stones—provide ideal conditions for Chardonnay. The cool air currents from nearby mountain ranges and meticulous vineyard management, including pruning to one bunch per shoot, result in lower yields and higher concentration in the grapes. For the 2022 vintage, hand-harvested Clone 15 vines, now at peak maturity, were selected, allowing Keltern’s character to shine through. Tasting Notes Nose Ripe Stone Fruit, Lemon, Brioche Aromas of ripe stone fruit and fresh lemon are accented by warm brioche and a subtle touch of spicy French oak, adding an exotic and inviting complexity. Palate Silky Texture, Citrus, Spice The palate is generous and layered, with silky citrus notes and a hint of spice from French oak. The wine’s natural acidity provides balance, enhancing the depth and richness. Finish Mineral, Toasty, Elegant A lingering finish with mineral undertones and a gentle toastiness, showcasing Keltern’s distinctive terroir and ensuring a refined, refreshing aftertaste.

Amisfield Brut Methode Traditionelle
Settlement Vineyard Pinot Noir
Founded by Steve Planthaber, originally from Adelaide but post school left for the South Island of New Zealand. A move to Marlborough with his partner Kirsty Sutherland cemented his love for all things wine. Hard not to be inspired when meeting the Sutherland’s who were one of the pioneers of viticulture in the region, part of the original success of Cloudy Bay followed by establishing their own estate Dog Point. Steve was keen to find his own path and after 12 years running the production and operations at Cloudy Bay decided to begin his own wine brand, Settlement. Settlement, named after the stunning Amphitheatre single vineyard site in the Omaka Valley, is dedicated entirely to the production of organic, old vine single vineyard expressions of very special sites in Marlborough. Doesn’t get any more Southern Valley than this site, right in the Omaka Valley. High density of clay in this soil, lots of very good Pinot Noir sites in this sub-region. The Settlement Vineyard is the youngest of the 4 sites, planted in 2009 but a beautiful amphitheater, steep hillside vineyard, 4000 vines per hectare so high density plantings. North/North West facing. Hand picked/sorted, 70% destemmed/30% wholebunch. Short pre soak then wild fermented in tank, Pressed to barrel then aged for 18 months in French oak, 35% new. Francois Freres and Mercurey Oak. Complex, youthful, pure and fresh. Aromas and flavours of dark red cherry and fruit spices, there’s mineral rock and stone quality, plum and black currant. Delicious on the poalate, but still very youthful, a taut texture driven my tannins and acidity, but cushioned by a core of fruit that collectively will see this wine age well. Dry and lengthy on the finish with flavours that mirror the bouquet. Best drink from 2024 through 2034. Excellent. - Cameron Douglas MW, 94 Points
