Chardonnay
Unuarguably the wine world’s most famous white grape variety. Best known as the white grape of Burgundy, Chardonnay has spread its wings around the world from Europe to California and Western Australia. Unfortunately, its ubiquity has meant that many people have become bored by its predictable flavour profile at lower price points. But at its best, great white Burgundy/Chardonnay is unsurpassable.

Situated at the northern tip of the South Island, Marlborough is New Zealand’s largest and most successful wine producing area. It is renowned for the production of exuberantly fruity Sauvignon Blanc. The Isabel Estate vineyard is one of the largest privately owned wine estates in Marlborough. Yields for the production of Isabel Estate wines are restricted by pruning to low bud numbers and, where necessary, leaf and bunch thinning to ensure that fruit quality is optimized.“We aim to make inspired wines that are a strong expression of the individual style and character, as determined by the vineyard site and soil.”
Isabel produces outstanding Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris, Riesling, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and a late-harvest SB, “Noble Sauvage”. These are wines of amazing substance and style.

The estate has been in the Miquel family since the French Revolution in 1789, when it was purchased from the local monks at Fontcaude. With over 135 hectares of mature, naturally low-yielding vines, this estate is among the most prominent independent producers in the Languedoc. Laurent crafts these premium wines as a testament to the distinct terroir of the site and to reveal wine with exceptional personality and character.
