Three Paddles Chardonnay 2025
Case Buys Only | 6 x 750ml
Three Paddles Chardonnay is a generous, approachable Martinborough Chardonnay from Nga Waka, one of the region's pioneering family-owned wineries. Ripe white peach, red apple and toasted nuts lead into a soft, creamy palate, balanced by fresh citrus acidity and a lightly spiced oak character. Fermentation in French oak and stainless steel, followed by eight months on lees, adds texture and complexity while preserving the wine's bright fruit.
What the winery says:
Pale gold in colour, with ripe white stone fruit, red apple and toasted nut aromas. The palate is soft and generous, offering mouth-filling fruit and creamy notes that build complexity and length. Grown in the Top Block vineyard at Pirinoa, the wine was fermented across French oak barrels and stainless steel tanks, then aged on lees for eight months before blending and bottling.
What the experts say:
Cameron Douglas MS, 91/100 (2025 Vintage)
"A lovely purity of fruit led by flavours of white and yellow peach then some grapefruit and light vanilla spice qualities."
