GRAD® Clone 1 & 2 Kasza Chardonnay
This exceptionally fine Chardonnay genetic line is a regenerated high health version of the old Te Kauwhata 'Pinot Chardonnay' used by Dennis Kasza to make the legendary McWilliams 1960s Chardonnays. It is distinguished by its combining finesse with good depth of richness and flavour. It is hugely superior to Mendoza, and U.C.D. 4, 5, or 6, and also shows more classical (Meursault-like) intensity to its fruit character than many of the recent French clones where understatement and elegance rather than depth and richness seem to have been favoured.
