About this wine

Foxes Island Wines was established in 1992 by John Belsham. From his remote Marlborough vineyards, Belsham produces world class single vineyard vintages of note.

Aged in French oak barrels, this Estate Chardonnay has aromas of white peach, citrus and hazelnut. The finish is creamy and moreish. Excellent value to drink now.

ABOUT THE WINERY
Foxes Island
John Belsham founded Foxes Island in 1992 on the Wairau Plains. Searching for a premium site for Pinot Noir he discovered a 20-hectare Awatere property in 1998, naming it Belsham Awatere Estate. The property has seven distinct terraces with exceptional soil profiles, planted primarily to Pinot Noir, with select blocks dedicated to Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Riesling. Complete dedication to quality both in the vineyard and winery, together with John’s considerable winemaking talent ensures that Foxes Island produces some of the most compelling and expressive wines in Marlborough. A second range of wines made for earlier drinking called Fox by JB is also produced.
