Foxes Island Chardonnay 2016
Founded in 1992 by French-trained, winemaker John Belsham, and one of the world's first flying winemakers, Belsham set out to make the best, single vineyard Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in New Zealand; a novel concept at the time.
30 years on, Foxes Island offers the most extensive collection of cellar-aged, single vineyard wines on release in New Zealand. We craft our wines as gently as possible and as nature intended; with science, innovation and time, we will continue to do so. We believe wine is to be shared, to bring people together, foster community and celebrate inclusivity and diversity.
The 24th vintage of Foxes Island Chardonnay represents a generation of care, commitment and refinement by founder and winemaker, John Belsham.
Hand-picked grapes were gently pressed and vinified by indigenous yeast in large French oak barrels. After bottling, the wine was aged in the cellar to allow layers of complexity to develop.
Vibrant floral aromatics lead to flavours of sun ripe apricot, butterscotch, chalk, white pepper and warm, toasty brioche that are textural, energetic and delicious.
The precise structure and perfect balance will allow the wine to continue to develop for years to come.
