About This Wine

Chardonnay is the leading argument for ‘New Zealand does more than Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot’. The chilly maritime nation seems to pump out stunning Chardonnay’s, and this is no exception. Marlborough certainly has the vines and the local talent to carve out some stellar drops, Will and Rachel at Novum certainly seem to be as besotted with the grape as we are. High acid Mendoza (gin gin) clone, wild ferments, lees stirred only at full moon and a smidge of new oak lend itself to a toasty, singing Chardonnay you won’t regret.
