Occasionally we are offered the opportunity to move excess wine stocks where the producer doesn’t want the brand and price broadcast across the internet, hence the “Mystery Label” for promotion (the wine retains the original label, so you know exactly what the wine is when you receive it or see it instore).
This is the Chardonnay buy you keep asking us for but is so hard to find. It is simply delicious! Be in and thank us for finding it for you later.
Chardonnay is by far and away our most popular white variety, and we are always searching for one that ticks all the taste boxes we know you love. Of course, it has to be at a great price also…
Outstanding Vintage. Outstanding Blocks. Outstanding Wine.
The wine is from a couple of special vineyard blocks in the Hawkes Bay and the excellent 2021 vintage. The low yielding fruit was in pristine condition and the free run juice fermented and aged in a mixture of new and older French oak. Most went through full malo-lactic.
The result is a wine that highlights the classic Hawkes Bay flavours: golden peach, almost tropical fruit, cashew nut, and subtle spicy oak flavours. Creamy with hints of butterscotch.
Our taste summary… bloody delicious!
