Selected for the Top 12 Hawke’s Bay Annual Chardonnay Collection 2023 – Cameron Douglas MS
Winery notes (2023 Vintage)
"The aim is to produce a wine that speaks of Chardonnay. It is a youthful wine, evenly structured with emphasis on a fresh, food-friendly style and balanced palate. Stone fruit and citrus on the nose and palate with texture, character, freshness and a line of acidity through the palate."
93/100 Gary Walsh, The Wine Front, July 2025 (2023 Vintage)
"This has bite and a bit of grip. It’s zesty and bright, a little stuck match and almond, grapefruit and fresh pineapple, a green apple bite too. Lots of energy, a saline tang, some seaweed in the mix, with a tight and lively finish of excellent length. I also like this aniseed perfume it has and its gentle chalky feel on the finish. Steely. Delicious. You can get about this wine so much."
90/100 Erin Larkin, RobertParker.com, January 2025 (2023 Vintage)
"The 2023 Chardonnay is pure and unfettered on the nose, offering white nectarine and green apple, layers of preserved citrus, vanilla wafer and shaved fennel. In the mouth, the wine is polished and features sweet melon and scraped vanilla pod. The wine is plump and soft, with lovely acidity."
