OAK TREATMENT

The 2004 season provided a warm, dry summer and autumn, which allowed an extended ripening period for the Chardonnay. The 2004 vintage produced wines with good flavour concentration and structure.

Dashwood Chardonnay was produced from grapes grown in the Wairau and Awatere Valleys of Marlborough.

A warm and dry season has produced fully ripened fruit showing bright fruit flavours carefully balanced with a portion aged in French oak barriques.

This elegantly styled Chardonnay has a long, softly structured palate, and is ready to drink now.

The 2004 Dashwood Chardonnay is sealed with a screw cap to ensure optimum quality.
