{"product_id":"2024-whitehaven-single-vineyard-chardonnay","title":"2024 Whitehaven Single Vineyard Chardonnay","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhitehaven’s single vineyard range of wines speak to the importance of terroir in creating unique, premium quality wines, and allow us to showcase outstanding, smaller parcels of fruit identified by our winemakers each vintage. Reflecting the exclusive nature of these wines, each bottle is individually numbered. ‘Fossil Block’ is the name of the vineyard block where fruit for this wine is sourced – named for the ancient Awatere river fossils found at the site.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe have used a lightweight bottle to lessen this wine’s impact on the environment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eColour \/ Appearance: Pale-straw yellow.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAroma \/ Bouquet: The wine possesses a unique aromatic profile, reflecting where it is grown – the essence of terroir. Lifted and refined, with floral characteristics, white stone fruit and subtle crystalline, flinty and earthy undertones.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePalate: Concentrated yet delicate, a thread of mineral salinity, reminiscent of river stones, runs through the palate. The distinct mineral structure supports complex stone fruit and citrus flavours. Vibrant acidity carries the wine to a long, flinty finish.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCellaring:  Enjoy now for its freshness and purity, or cellar for 5-7 years to reveal richer, more complex flavours and a silky texture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFood Match: The wine’s vibrant acidity and mineral backbone pair seamlessly with fresh seafood such as oysters, seared scallops or simply grilled fish. The textural depth of the palate would also compliment roasted chicken dishes, creamy risotto, or soft-ripened cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Regional Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54263227908401,"sku":"NZ10881","price":42.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1968\/6329\/files\/WhitehavenFossilblockforwebsite_400x_a85bff95-7164-4dd5-9c69-d12890f1f6ec.png?v=1779783593","url":"https:\/\/www.regionalwines.co.nz\/products\/2024-whitehaven-single-vineyard-chardonnay","provider":"Regional Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
