The 2021 Palliser Estate Single Vineyard Om Santi Chardonnay Martinborough is a premium New Zealand Chardonnay crafted from a certified organic vineyard, showcasing a refined, Burgundian-inspired style with precision, texture and mineral complexity. Produced with wild fermentation and extended aging in French oak, it reflects both site expression and meticulous winemaking. The nose is complex and expressive, showing white peach, nectarine and citrus peel, layered with notes of nougat, vanilla, crème brûlée and flinty minerality.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a rich, creamy texture and excellent concentration. Stone fruit, lemon curd and subtle oak nuances are balanced by fresh acidity and a saline mineral edge, leading to a long, elegant and persistent finish. The style is powerful yet seamless, combining richness with finesse—offering a top-tier Martinborough Chardonnay with both immediate appeal and strong aging potential.
