Winery notes (2022 Vintage)
"Martinborough Vineyard Home Block Chardonnay 2022 is an iconic New Zealand Chardonnay from one of Martinborough’s founding wineries. A rich, full-bodied wine framed by ripe stone fruit, brioche, and hazelnut notes. Beautifully balanced yet complex with a lingering minerality, toasty buttery notes and a long lingering finish."
4 Stars Cuisine Chardonnay Tasting, September 2024 (2022 Vintage)
"A powerful example with lots of fruit and oak evident on the nose and through the palate. This style is beloved by many when well done, as it is here. All elements are well balanced with lovely white peach characteristics, a rich textural palate and impressive length. "

5 Stars & 95/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, April 2023 (2021 Vintage)
"Restrained and elegant, the wine shows white flesh stone fruit, lemon peel, oatmeal and nougat notes on the nose, followed by a concentrated palate offering excellent tension and persistency. It's splendidly framed by creamy texture and vibrant acidity, making it superbly structured and lingering. At its best: 2024 to 2033."
5 Stars & 95/100 Bob Campbell MW, The Real Review (2020 Vintage)
"From a top Martinborough vintage. It's an intensely-flavoured wine with lemon curd, nectarine, sizzled butter, wood-smoke and toasted nut flavours. A smooth-textured wine supported by attractive, mouth-watering acidity."
