Winery notes (2024 Vintage)
"Intensely savoury with fine French oak seamlessly integrated into layers of citrus and white stone fruits. A moorish acidity balances the richly textured palate, driving the wine through a long, elegant finish. Enjoy with Pasta al limone, fresh bread and cheese platter, or roast chicken.

The fruit for our Chardonnay was primarily harvested from our lower Wairau vineyards giving us a variety of character. Good soil and canopy management, cold nights during ripening, and a warm and dry summer maintain concentrated flavours in the grapes.

Fruit was selectively harvested and gently pressed directly to tank. After a short settling period of 6–12 hours, the clarified juice was transferred to 100% French oak barrels for fermentation. To enhance aromatic complexity, 70% of the barrels were inoculated with selected commercial yeast, while the remaining 30% were allowed to undergo wild fermentation. Following primary fermentation, the barrels were stirred regularly (batonnage) to support malolactic conversion and build texture and structure. The wine remained in barrel for 11 months of maturation before blending and preparation for bottling."

5 Stars & 93/100 Sam Kim, Wine Oribt, March 2025 (2024 Vintage)
"Delightfully styled and expressive, with aromas of apricot, rockmelon, vanilla, almond meal, and hazelnut on the nose. The palate is equally appealing, with a creamy texture backed by beautifully balanced acidity, making it flavoursome and persistent. At its best: now to 2028."

4 Stars & Best Buy, Cuisine Chardonnay Tasting, August 2025 (2024 Vintage)
"Ripe citrus and stonefruit aromas abound on the nose with a nutty, creamy character coming though. The palate is lovely with more ripe fruit flavours that give juiciness and a taut acid profile that elevates the wine and gives length."

90/100 Cameron Douglas MS, July 2025 (2024 Vintage)
"Aromas and flavours of peaches and cream, apple and grapefruit, vanilla and banana. The creamy texture across the palate is contrasted by the acidity and citrus flavours. As the wine warms on the palate flavours of baked apple and peach emerge. Nice weight, balanced and well made with best drinking from late 2025 through 2028."
