A complex and rich wine with butterscotch and savoury overtones. There are background flavours of lemon and melon.

Summit chardonnay produced from 27 year old chardonnay vines grown on the gravelly crest of Pipers Brook Vineyard. The combination of soil, old vines and low yields together with new barrel ferment produces wine of unusual strength and longevity. It should improve in bottle over the next 15 to 20 years, but is already showing its Merit. Enjoy with salmon and sorrel cream sauce.

The reserve wine is from some of our best chardonnay blocks in the Pipers Brook region. The wine has great complexity and ageing potential, but is already drinking well in 2001.
