[SOLD-OUT] Prophet's Rock Cuvee Antipodes Chardonnay 2019

 

"A Chardonnay of real finesse. Aromatically complex with ripe orchard fruits, white flowers and exotic spice. The silky palate shows hints of cream and plenty of white stone fruit depth, and finishes long with lingering salty minerality. Powerful and elegant at once." - Wine House

 

"This Chardonnay is a collaboration between Prophet’s Rock winemaker Paul Pujol and esteemed French winemaker François Millet from Chambolle-Musigny, Burgundy. Former winemaker at Comte George de Vogüé for 35 vintages, François continues to make wine in Burgundy with his family under ‘François Millet et Fils’ and with us in New Zealand.

The grapes were sourced from the small one hectare Chardonnay block on our Kopuwai Delta vineyard, located in the Pisa sub-region of Central Otago. This site has a mix of glacial and alluvial soil. Meticulous viticulture and the site’s low-elevation help to ensure full ripeness and concentration. Cellaring will reward collectors over the next 10+ years from vintage.The Cuvée Aux Antipodes is the meeting of two winemakers from the two hemispheres, Paul Pujol and François Millet . The Old and the New World seemingly so distant, join here in a human and winemaking adventure with a common passion for Chardonnay and the beauty of its terroirs." - Prophet's Rock
