Dashwood Chardonnay

Dashwood Chardonnay offers a rich and creamy palate with flavours of grilled peaches, bright lemon, and brioche character. The wine is balanced by fresh acidity that gives it energy and pulls through to a long, satisfying finish. Aromas of grilled peaches, citrus, and delicate brioche notes create an inviting nose.

Dashwood Chardonnay comes from Marlborough, New Zealand, specifically blending fruit from sustainably farmed estate and grower vineyards across both the Wairau and Awatere valleys. This multi-valley approach captures the diverse terroir of Marlborough, creating a wine that is a true reflection of the region's character and quality.

Dashwood Chardonnay pairs beautifully with roast chicken, creamy pasta dishes, and fresh seafood such as grilled fish or scallops. The wine's balanced acidity and creamy texture complement rich, buttery preparations while its citrus notes enhance lighter seafood dishes. It also works well with charcuterie and soft cheeses.

This Marlborough Chardonnay complements dishes with creamy sauces, roasted poultry, and seafood preparations. The wine's grilled peach and brioche notes pair particularly well with chicken with herb butter, linguine with cream sauce, or pan-seared scallops. Its balanced acidity cuts through richer preparations while the creamy palate matches textured dishes.

Serve Dashwood Chardonnay chilled at 8-12 degrees Celsius to unlock its full bouquet of flavours. This temperature range preserves the wine's fresh acidity while allowing the grilled peach, lemon, and brioche notes to express themselves fully. Use a standard white wine glass and no decanting is necessary.
