Seismic Hawke’s Bay Chardonnay

A new arrival from New Zealand’s beautiful Hawke’s Bay region, Seismic Chardonnay is a rich, aromatic white wine made by talented winemaker Nicolas Culemme.

Starting his winemaking career in 2005, at Le Centre du Rosé in Provence, Nicolas worked harvests in both France and New Zealand for years, before permanently settling in New Zealand in 2017.

Why Seismic? Hawke’s Bay has been recognised as one of the 12 best wine regions in the world, but it’s also the most earthquake prone region in New Zealand. It lies along the North Island’s fault line and is regularly shaken up by the shifting plates.

Seismic Chardonnay is made with grapes from five vineyards in Hawke’s Bay, including fruit from elevated inland sites, adding layers of freshness and minerality. It’s packed with juicy peach and apricot flavours, with a touch of flinty minerality and toasty oak, wrapped up in a deliciously creamy texture. Enjoy this wine with roast chicken, creamy pasta or risotto.
