Winery notes (2024 Vintage)
"Harvested from the 30 year old Mt Maude vines, foot-stomped, basket pressed, fermented with indigenous yeasts, and matured in seasoned French oak, this palate is seamless perfection – thus being the Maude family favourite!"
Rated Excellent & 93/100 Cameron Douglas MS, October 2024 (2024 Vintage)
"Complex, youthful, varietal and enticing bouquet. Aromas of grapefruit and sweet peach, lemon and vanilla, raw cashew nut butter and layers of lees complexities. Near full-bodied on the palate with fruit, oak and lees flavours reflecting the bouquet. The key with this wine is the acid line accentuating the citrus with grapefruit peel, then complexities from lees and development. The minerality is also a feature with a clay, stone and baking spice qualities. Lengthy, dry on the finish and delicious with best drinking from 2024 through 2030+."
David Walker Bell, WineFolio.co.nz, October 2025 (2024 Vintage)
"Maude ‘Mt Maude’ Chardonnay 2024 still has the very flinty nose of old. Serious, with a whap of toasty barrel spice also showing on the nose. Ripe but not heavy, it is light on its feet. A spicy layer appears mid-palate and stays into the persistent finish."
