Winery notes (2020 Vintage)
"IIt is the soils of the Gimblett Gravels Vineyard that impart a finely textured mineral quality into the finished wine, unique to Chardonnay produced from this region. Finely flavoured, complex, taut.

Pale straw colour. A nose that talks to our house style; oyster shell, roasted cashews and orange zest. The palate is as powerful as it is everlasting. Brioche, white peach flesh and kaffir lime flavours are all present, but the sophistication and detail give the wine the X factor. No hair out of place with oak, fruit and acid perfectly balanced. The creamy yet lasting acidity ensures that the flavour within the wine continues long after it leaves the mouth. An increasingly iconic Chardonnay in the NZ landscape."

Rated Outstanding & 96/100 Cameron Douglas MS, July 2022 (2019 Vintage)
"A powerful core of fruit with an equal impact of oak scents, spice and allure. Youthful, complex and earthy, new and vibrant. Core fruit flavours of peach and white nectarine, grapefruit and barrel spices invade the palate evenly and with power. Lush and delicious, but youthful and taut, a wine that needs te to bring all the attributes together. Fine tannins with a chalky edge, medium+ acidity and layers of oak flavours with texture and impact. A fine wine with best drinking from late 2023 through 2029+."

5 Stars, 97/100 & #1 Rated 2019 Hawkes Bay Chardonnay, Bob Campbell MW, The Real Review, October 2020 (2019 Vintage)
"Nine-year-old vines, all clone 95. Impressive chardonnay with purity and power. Very Burgundian with lemon, citrus, saline, oyster-shell, wild flowers and nutty yeast lees characters. A stylish, complex wine that will benefit from a little bottle age."
