Soljans Estate Winery
Fifth Generation Series Chardonnay 2016 750ml

Library Stock

This is a family and New Zealand first. Having the 5th Generation of our family involved in the business and helping to produce something we are very proud of. Our 2016 Chardonnay was grown at our estate in Kumeu. Tended to carefully throughout the years by the 3rd generation, Tony, and his grandson, Tyler. Barrel aged for 18 months in 40% new French Oak, with 100% malolactic fermentation allows this wine to be very well balanced. A youthful stonefruit and pineapple bouquet, creme brulee and toasted hazelnut on the palate with a lengthy finish. Drinking outstandingly now, with great potential over the coming years.

This is our 2016 Library Wine Release, only very small portions are kept aside for ageing, with our Fifth Generation Kumeu Chardonnay showing great promise at this age.
