Craggy Range Chardonnay Kidnappers Vineyard

Craggy Range's Chardonnay from the Kidnappers Vineyard in Hawke's Bay represents the house style of refined, food-friendly white wine from New Zealand's premier cool-climate region. The wine displays a harmonious balance of ripe stone fruit—peach and apricot—with bright citrus zest and a mineral backbone. Oak aging contributes subtle butter and hazelnut notes without overwhelming the fruit, while a touch of brioche complexity suggests careful winemaking. Medium-full body and medium-high acidity make this an elegant aperitif or versatile table wine suited to seafood, poultry, and cream-based dishes.
