The 2022 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 depth, texture and mineral precision. Produced with wild fermentation and French oak aging, it expresses both site and vintage with clarity and complexity.The nose is rich and layered, showing white peach, grapefruit and lemon curd, complemented by notes of hazelnut, nougat, vanilla and subtle smoky oak.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a creamy, mouthfilling texture and excellent weight. Stone fruit, citrus and nutty complexity are balanced by bright acidity and a distinctive saline, mineral edge, leading to a long, elegant and structured finish. The style is powerful yet poised, combining richness with freshness and flinty minerality—offering a top-tier Martinborough Chardonnay with both immediate appeal and strong aging potential.
