Isabel Estate is one of Marlborough’s pioneers, crafting wines that are a pure reflection of place. The Chardonnay comes from estate-grown, organically farmed vines rooted in ancient riverbed soils with volcanic influences, lending a distinctive mineral drive and flinty complexity to the wine. The cool maritime climate extends the ripening season, allowing for exceptional flavour development while preserving vibrant acidity.
Fermented and aged in French oak, this Chardonnay strikes the perfect balance between richness and restraint. Layers of ripe stone fruit, lemon curd, and toasted hazelnut unfold on the palate, supported by a taut, saline minerality and subtle smoky undertones from the volcanic soils. A bright core of citrus acidity keeps everything beautifully lifted, leading to a long, elegant finish. With its seamless texture, precision, and depth, this is Marlborough Chardonnay at its most sophisticated.
