Buy OnlineAs a new label to market, select parcels of Obliix wines have been made available at a discounted price to help build early awareness and introduce the range to wine lovers, including this smart Hawkes Bay Chardonnay from the stellar 2024 vintage.
Long before Obliix, Sir George Fistonich made his name crafting some of New Zealand's most celebrated Chardonnay at Villa Maria. His new label carries on that tradition, sourcing fruit from premium Hawke's Bay vineyards and proving you don't have to spend big for seriously good Chardonnay.
At just $15.99, this has no right to be this good. Bursting with ripe peach, nectarine and citrus, it's creamy without being heavy, with subtle brioche, a hint of spice and a fresh finish that keeps you coming back for another sip. Rich enough to satisfy Chardonnay lovers but bright enough to please almost anyone.
Winery notes (2024 Vintage)
"Complex aromas of ripe stone fruits, such as nectarine and white peach with hints of brioche and nuttiness. The palate is dry and medium bodied with a smooth, creamy mouthfeel coupled with vibrant acidity and a touch of spice on the finish. A real crowd pleaser.
Gentle pressing after hand and machine picking. A mixture of natural and inoculated yeast fermentation. 1 month of lees stirring post alcoholic ferment. Natural malolactic ferment through spring. 50% Barrel fermentation. 10% new barriques. 50% Stainless steel fermentation."
5 Stars & 93/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, March 2026 (2024 Vintage)
"Beautifully fruited and inviting, the bouquet shows ripe peach, pineapple, vanilla, and roasted nut aromas, leading to a silky-smooth palate that's creamy and lingering. Splendidly styled and expressed with a flavoursome finish. At its best: now to 2028."
90/100 Cameron Douglas MS, April 2026 (2024 Vintage)
"A ripe and fruity, varietal and fresh expression of Chardonnay with aromas and flavours of sweet citrus and white peach, some vanilla and baking spice qualities and clay earthy suggestions. A dry wine with a core of stone fruits and citrus flavours laced with spice and some floral ideas. Best drinking from day of purchase through 2029."
