Te Muna Valley Chardonnay 2018

The 2018 Te Muna Valley Chardonnay was never intended for public release. It was cellared quietly for years, earmarked as a library bottle to show how Te Muna fruit ages with patience and time.

But with the winery now preparing for a change of ownership, the entire cellar is being opened — a one-off event that will never occur again.

The wine itself is beautifully evolved: citrus and peach, fine acidity, subtle brioche, and a savoury mineral line that carries through the finish. Time has done what only time can do - soften, integrate, harmonise.

This is your only chance to taste Te Muna Chardonnay with genuine bottle age, professionally stored since bottling.
