Did you know?
Thermal Amplitude is a fancy term that describes how mountains affect the quality of grapes. Located along the bottom of the hill, the vineyard receives enough sunlight to ripen grapes, but also enough shade to keep them from over-ripening. The cool breeze coming down the mountains also allows the grapes to ripen nicely.
With hints of spice and cocoa and notes of small red fruits, Chapel Peak's Pinot Noir is delicate and refined. Rich and juicy with silky tannins. A walk on the Blanc side reveals tropical fruit aromas on the palate. Minerality and bright character round out the Sauvignon Blanc nicely.
A vineyard located in New Zealand has many perks, including being situated on one of the hills within the Marlborough region that boasts important thermal amplitudes*. Additionally, the winery practices sustainability, utilising the exceptional terroir to its fullest extent.

Chapel Peak Pinot Noir 2017
"Beautiful ruby colour with purple hues. Fine and delicate, giving a beautiful expression of the Pinot noir, with its small red fruits notes added to spicy cocoa hints. Fruity mouth with silky tannins. Well-balanced, fine structure and unctuous taste. Great aromatic lengthy finish." - Winemaker's Notes

Chapel Peak Sauvignon Blanc 2018
"The palate, generously expressive, unveils passion fruit aromas, ripe pineapple, underlined by a grapefruit rind. The wine sets itself by its balance, finesse and presents a subtle minerality." - Winemaker's Notes
