Winery notes (2024 Vintage)
"Three Rows is a stylistic counterpoint to our Reserve Chardonnay. Here we aim to showcase power & intensity with minerality, length & focus. Barrel fermented and aged on lees for 10 months, clean stone, struck match and flint like characters, a grapefruit finish from the natural acidity synonymous with our Te Awanga vineyards."
Rated Excellent & 94/100 Cameron Douglas MS, September 2025 (2024 Vintage)
"Easily one of my favourite Chardonnay expressions from Clearview. Winemaker Matt Kirby has captured the ripeness, edginess and textures that a Chardonnay can deliver if vineyard and winery details are paid careful attention. Natural flavours and textures of white peach and a mineral flinty qualities. Saline, some wood detail, earth-smoke and mineral all layer into the frame of complexity and mouthfeel. Well made with a lengthy finish. Best drinking from 2025 through 2030."
92/100 Gary Walsh, The Wine Front, July 2026 (2024 Vintage)
"A juicy peachy sort of wine, some stuck match, a nutty almost mango richness here, spiced oatmeal. Lots of flavour, spice and cashew, some lemon zest and cheese cloth, with a chalky finish of good length. A bit come-hither and showy but an enjoyable wine all up."
