Tapi Chardonnay

Tapi wines are named to honor the surrounding mountain ranges that protect the Marlborough wine region from adverse weather and allow the region to produce amazing quality wines; with Mt Tapuae-o-Uenukuor, Tapi(tap-ee), as the locals call it, is a beacon that rises above it all. Tapi wines started as two couples who became good mates while living and working in Marlborough, New Zealand that came together in business with a shared goal to raise the standard of winemaking. Ten years, a cross-Tasman relocation, four kids, two dogs, a couple of chooks and plenty of chaos later, they continueto make great wines that they believe in. The Tapi team places sustainable viticulture and small-batch production at the heart of their business, because in order for us all to live well, we must respect the land. From their table to yours, surround yourself with good wine, good food, and Good Company.

The use of only older oak barrells ensures the core flavours of this Chardonnay are not based on oak, but rather fine fruit and excellent winemaking. On the nose there are notes of lemon, red apple, pear, white peach and flint. On the palate, enjoy a bright zestiness balancing the fruit sweetness with ripe lemon and white peach flavours, and grapefruit on the finish.
