Description

Labelled 2019 | Actual Vintage 2021

This COVERT SELECT Chardonnay is a premium Martinborough wine sourced from Stonecutter producer holdings and released discreetly under the COVERT label. Wines of this calibre were previously sold under the Stonecutter name at retail prices up to $44, making this release exceptional value at COVERT pricing.This is not a downgraded wine.

It is the same quality wine — simply released under a different label.

The WineRefined, composed, and quietly confident, this cool-climate Chardonnay shows classic Martinborough restraint. Citrus and white peach aromatics lead into a finely textured, medium-bodied palate that balances freshness with depth. The finish is clean, precise, and savoury rather than overtly rich, reflecting thoughtful vineyard sourcing and measured winemaking.There is no excess weight, no forced oak, and no shortcuts — just clarity, structure, and regional definition. This is a Chardonnay built for drinkers who value balance over bravado.

Why This Is Extraordinary ValueUnder the Stonecutter label, wines of this quality retailed at up to $44. Through the COVERT model, we’re able to source selected producer holdings and release them under our own label, delivering genuine producer-level quality at a fraction of the original price.At $39.99 retail, this stands comfortably alongside other premium Martinborough Chardonnays.At $13.99 per bottle when purchased by the case, it is almost unheard of.This is exactly what COVERT exists to do.

Important Vintage Clarification (Transparency)Due to a historical label print error, the bottle label states 2019.The wine inside is 100% 2021 vintage Chardonnay.

The wine is fully traceable
Quality and authenticity are unaffected
