Nectarine, ripe pear and golden apple unfold around a bright centre of lemon, with a fresh lemongrass lift that keeps the aromas beautifully alive. Shortbread, roasted almond and delicate savoury spice add depth, while a subtle stony character gives the ripe fruit definition. Everything feels gently woven together, with the fruit taking centre stage.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe palate is supple and creamy, building from juicy orchard fruit into a softly nutty richness. Mouth-watering acidity brings lift, while a fine mineral texture and distinctive saline edge draw the wine into a long, beautifully composed finish. This is generous Chardonnay with the freshness to keep you coming back, equally inviting over a leisurely lunch or alongside something special from the kitchen. Already delicious, it has the balance and concentration to gain further complexity with bottle age.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor when: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLunch drifts into the afternoon and nobody minds opening another bottle.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePairs with: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePair with butter-poached langoustines, roast chicken with tarragon cream, pan-fried sole with lemon butter, crab linguine, asparagus and pea risotto, or a slice of mature Comté.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKererū Road takes its name from the route to Linda and Ian Quinn’s Two Terraces Vineyard in Mangatahi, an elevated inland corner of Hawke’s Bay. Inspired by the generous, finely balanced Chardonnays of the Mâconnais, Pyramid Valley selected a single parcel here to bring a new dimension to its range. The 2024 is the inaugural vintage, combining the site’s ripe citrus and stone fruit with the producer’s characteristic savoury texture.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wine Republic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56341110849921,"sku":null,"price":30.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0916\/0513\/9841\/files\/2024KereruRoadChardonnay_PyramidValley.png?v=1790848217","url":"https:\/\/www.wine-republic.co.uk\/products\/2024-kereru-road-chardonnay-pyramid-valley","provider":"Wine Republic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
