Torea Oystercatcher Martinborough Chardonnay 2025

Torea Oystercatcher Martinborough Chardonnay is a generous, fruit-forward Martinborough Chardonnay built around ripe white peach and nectarine, with vanilla and gentle spice adding extra warmth and depth. The palate is rich and full of flavour, finishing soft and persistent rather than sharp or lean. Torea is a family-owned New Zealand label, with a focus on sourcing classic varietals from regions that surround them. An easy pick for Chardonnay drinkers who like plenty of fruit and texture, especially alongside roast chicken, scallops or other richer seafood dishes.
