Winery notes (2022 Vintage)
"The grapes for this wine were grown in the Wairau Valley region of Marlborough. This wine is made from grape parcels where 80% was fermented in new and seasoned French barriques and 20% was fermented in stainless steel. This style of winemaking enables us to craft a wine with bright fruit forward characters while still ensuring complexity and the depth of flavours imparted by oak influence. Partial malolactic fermentation was allowed for the barrel portion of the wine while it aged for 9 months on lees.
Citrus and stonefruit aromas are complimented by spice, gunflint and toast from a touch of oak. An approachable wine with inviting bright fruit flavours and great texture and roundness. The oak influence delivers complexity and great intensity on the palate."
90/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, March 2023 (2021 Vintage)
"Charming and elegantly lifted with ripe apricot, fig, nougat and lemon peel aromas, it's juicy and rounded in the mouth displaying fine texture and smooth mouthfeel. Attractively fruited and soothing with a lengthy creamy finish. At its best: now to 2026."

90/100 Bob Campbell MW, The Real Review, October 2022 (2021 Vintage)
"Soft, accessible chardonnay that is light, almost juicy and fruit-focused with a suggestion of sweet oak and almond character. Smooth-textured wine in an easy-drinking style."
