Already producers of an incredible line up of wines that most would give an arm and a leg for. We’re talking Church Road’s world class TOM, Grand Reserve, McDonald Series, Gwen and Estate range. They thought, heck, there’s always room for 1 more. Introducing, Church Road 1!
Single vineyard wines, hand crafted in small batches and all bottles individually numbered. This is the 2021 vintage Chardonnay using fruit from their Terraces Vineyard in the Tuki Tuki valley in the Havelock Hills.
Scoring 97/100 with Master of Wine Bob Campbell who said “Intense, powerful chardonnay with grapefruit, white peach, oyster shell, lemon blossom and nutty French oak flavours. Serious single vineyard wine with the potential to become even better after bottle age. A special occasion wine.”
Church Road have made a name as one of NZ’s most serious Chardonnay producers and this “1” doesn’t disappoint! A rich, complex, high energy wine with good to go now but crafted with the long term in mind too – cellar up to 15 years from vintage.
