Update: The 2024 vintage of Terroir Project Chardonnay sees a change from Australia to New Zealand! This vintage is now sourced from the Waihopai Valley, Marlborough.
A beautifully balanced Chardonnay with minerality, richness and freshness to boot! Concentrated lemon-lime citrus on the palate, some biscuity/brioche tertiary complexity on the nose and a saline, mineral, lingering finish.
