Villa Maria are undoubtedly up there with Aotearoa’s finest Chardonnay producers, if not the best. If you disagree their trophy cabinet (being NZ’s most awarded winery it must be more like a large shed by now) has a thing or two to say about that. And their iconic Villa Maria Reserve Hawke’s Bay Chardonnay is no stranger to the podium either.
For this 2024 vintage of Villa Maria Reserve Hawke’s Bay Chardonnay 100% of the fruit was hand picked from their world class, iconic Keltern vineyard. As the Villa crew put it – “This vineyard site has been producing fine Chardonnay for over 20 years.”
Aged in 30% expensive new French oak and barrel aged for 11 months. It gets all the tender, love and care you’d expect for a label their stake their name on!
A full bodied, powerful style Hawke’s Bay Chardonnay that oozes class and style. It’s one that Villa Maria proudly call “the jewel in the crown for our Chardonnays“. No ifs, buts or maybes – this is all class and the Chardonnay you need to be busting out at your next dinner party!
Make sure you try it now and cellar the rest over the next 6-8 years.
