Along the Marlborough shore, holding fast to the rocks at low tide, is the seaweed Durvillea, named after the captain of the Astrolabe, Dumont d'Urville. This Chardonnay is a full-bodied, creamy and oaky Chardonnay made in a round, mouth-filling style. In the glass find complex aromas of citrus fruit, hazelnut meal, crème caramel and sweet oak vanillin. A full-bodied palate with nectarine, honeydew melon, fine oak and a long ripe citrus finish. Match with roasted hazelnuts, creamy pasta and poultry dishes, smoked salmon and miso-glazed eggplant with toasted sesame seeds.
