Ata Rangi 'Petrie' Chardonnay 2010

Redolent of white fleshed nectarine, apple blossom and dried fig, the palate is very tight with remarkable minerality and drive on the finish. This vintage of Petrie has the structure to evolve and deliver delicious complexities over the next 5 to 10 years, thanks to small-berried Clone 15 and decent vine age. Owned by the Petrie family, the 21 year-old block is 20 minutes’ drive north of Martinborough on gravelly, uplifted river terraces at East Taratahi.
