Greenhough wines have been in your case before, the more classic Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir, but here we have a grape that New Zealand isn’t renowned for, and maybe it should be!
Chardonnay is normally associated with the famous wines of Burgundy, or the rich oaky styles from Australia, but New Zealand has been quietly making fantastic styles of this classic grape for years now without making much impact on the U.K market. We think this should change as these are great wines with a unique character that combines the elegance of the old world with the innovation of the new.
Nelson’s cool, maritime climate is ideally suited to growing and harvesting Chardonnay. The coastal coolness and trademark sunshine are made for viticulture, slowly bringing the fruit to full ripeness. The Waimea Plains are protected from the harshest elements by mountain ranges to the south, east and west. From the north, Tasman Bay’s mild sea breeze mellows frosts through spring and autumn, and eases the heat in summer. The Maori called this area ‘river garden’, for its verdant growth and steady currents.
With low yields, 6-7 tonnes per hectare, hand harvesting, and fullyorganic practices, the fruit is really able to shine. Once harvested the wine is fermented and matured for 10 months in French oak casks adding depth and structure for a great alternative to a white Burgundy.
