Gold Medal – New Zealand International Wine Show 2025
A classic New Zealand Chardonnay done just the way you like it…
Winery notes (2024 Vintage)
"A classic Clearview Estate Reserve Chardonnay of power & sophistication. Stylish with power & complexity, mealy with stonefruit, ripe tropical flavours & substantial body."
96/100 Emma Jenkins MW, Decanter UK, May 2026 (2024 Vintage)
"A powerful wine with plenty of richness alongside excellent freshness and elegance. Made from Clearview’s oldest vines (30 years plus), a textbook nose of lemon meringue, ripe peach, oatmeal and toasty oak. The palate has great build with a dense core of citrus and stonefruit, toasted cashews and a creamy, spicy oak undertow. Good flow with a lengthy dry, savoury finish. Long regarded as one of the country’s top Chardonnays."
Rated Outstanding & 95/100 Cameron Douglas MS, September 2025 (2024 Vintage)
"A delicious wine, as expected filled with texture and layers of flavours from sweet grapefruit to crisp red apple and peach. There’s a mix of wood and barrel smoke twined together with a citrus and stone fruit complexity then some roasted nut and barrel-smoke ideas. Dry, full-bodied and chewy with flavour and length. Complex and well made with best drinking from as early as tomorrow or best from late 2026 through 2032+."
