Te Henga Unoaked Chardonnay 2006

Babich is a name that will be recognised immediately. This family cellar has been supplying us with magnificent New Zealand wines for over 20 years … and their pristing Chardonnay, crafted by Joe Babich, has become a true favourite.

Joe loves the glorious unaoked whites of Burgundy and dreamed of emulating their splendour and opulence back home in New Zealand - and his refined white is a roaring success! It's made with premium Chardonnay from Hawkes Bay, Gisborne and Auckland - the fruit here is perfect for this exquisite style.

Great finesse and complexity. Gentle aromas of citrus, wet stone and butter lead to most subtle melon and orchard fruit flavours. Like good Chablis it's superb with fine seafood.
