Picture this: a sunny day in May, the sales team are bustling around the tasting bench. On the lineup for today is a lot of chardy, expectations are high, after all chardy is the royal family member of the white wine world, right? After a few Aussie numbers, we get into the NZ gear, and boy oh boy does the tone change. Exclamations of happiness can be heard far and wide, with tasting notes bouncing around the bench at rapid fire. Brioche leaning into stone fruit and candied nectarines. It’s kind of like biting down on a freshly baked Portugese custard tart while you smell an array of stone fruits at the market. Now that is a very good place to be.
