New Zealand's most expensive Chardonnay, it would be easy to dismiss the 2015 Endeavour Chardonnay as a gimmick if it weren't so damn good. Old-vine Mendoza Clone, fermented and aged 29 months in new French oak puncheons, has yielded a wine that's toasty and cedary but one that packs in plenty of concentrated pineapple and citrus fruit. It's a rich, intense blend of wood and fruit, backed by a wonderfully silky texture and great energy and length.
