Located in the Wairarapa wine-growing region of New Zealand, Luna Estate is a newly renovated premium Wairarapa winery, situated one hour from Wellington city. Two precious parcels of land are home to Luna Estate?s Martinborough vineyards, with two distinct terroirs to create one magical wine selection.

The foundation of their winemaking philosophy has always been the sustainable care of the land and nature?s resources. Their land and their place are at the heart of all that they create, to work with the rhythms of nature to produce wines of exceptional quality.

Planted in 1993, farmed organically and on some of the deepest free-draining gravels on the famed Martinborough Terrace. Vines trained for low vigour and yields combine to deliver a wine of power and depth of flavour.

As a result of this approach the fruit quality is evident creating a wine which is tightly wound and restrained in its youth, ensuring a Chardonnay which will develop layers of flavour, richness and complexity over time and reward patience in the cellar.

Winemaker Joel Watson describes it as:
?Clear and bright appearance with a shimmering pale gold colour. No mistaking the cool climate chardonnay vibe; White fleshed peach & grapefruit with seaspray like flinty minerality. Some nice, in tune oaky bass notes add some subtle volume. Plenty to sniff and geek out about if so inclined. Superfine to taste! Love the powdery texture, a trimmed and toned package, all very nervy and energetic, crackling with tension. A real elegant mover though, with delicious citrus and peach flavours in the curl of the finish. So delicious and drinkable right now but will absolutely go the distance in the cellar if that is what is desired. At its best from 2023 onwards?
