Named after the Ariki, a classic racing yacht built in New Zealand in 1904, this Chardonnay is a tribute to the spirit of adventure — where the ocean meets the island.

Grown on the south-facing slopes of the Te Area vineyard, our grapes bask in gentle morning sunlight and are cooled by salty summer breezes. This coastal influence encourages juicy acidity and vibrant citrus with a touch of sea-spray salinity.

To develop depth, complexity, and layered ripeness, we blend in fruit from the younger Chardonnay vines of the Obsidian vineyard. The result is a vibrant, fresh, and fruit-forward style that captures the diverse terroir our island has to offer.

Bon voyage.
