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.
