Valhalla Chardonnay
A striking expression of coastal Waiheke. Â
The nose is tight and flinty, offering layers of struck match, white grapefruit, lemon pith, and crushed seashell. Subtle hints of orchard blossom and grilled peach sit beneath, wrapped
in a cool, maritime lift.Â
On the palate, Valhalla is razor-sharp and direct, driven by citrus and green stone fruit over a
firm spine of acidity. The lack of malolactic fermentation preserves clarity and tension, while the absence of lees work ensures a lean, chiselled texture. Oak provides quiet structure
and nuance - a frame rather than a flavour.
Long, saline, and refreshingly austere, the 2024 Valhalla is a cerebral Chardonnay precise,
elemental, and unmistakably site-driven.
