Coney Rabbit Martinborough Chardonnay 2022

Coney Rabbit Martinborough Chardonnay brings a nicely restrained take on Martinborough Chardonnay, with apple, dried citrus peel and vanilla layered with hazelnut and roasted nut characters. The palate sits in a creamy mid-weight register, while oak tannin gives the finish a dry, savoury edge rather than letting things wander into big, buttery territory. Coney is a family-owned Martinborough producer with more than 25 years of history and a minimalist approach that puts fruit and place first. A smart match for roast chicken, salmon or creamy pasta, and equally appealing when you simply want Chardonnay with texture and subtlety.

What the winery says:

Coney describes the 2022 Rabbit Chardonnay as a more subtle style of the variety, favouring restraint rather than overt oak, malolactic character or heavy lees influence. The nose brings hazelnut, apple, vanilla and dried citrus peel, followed by a creamy, mid-weight palate with roasted nut flavours and drying oak tannins through the finish. The winery describes the wine as carefully aged, with complexity and texture at the heart of the style.
