SWIFT CHARDONNAY 2021

Winery note (2021 Vintage)
"Made with Clone 15 hand selected fruit. Filled third off the press to a second fill barrel with full solids. This harmonious blend of land, climate, vines, people & culture represents the pinnacle of Chardonnay."

5 Stars & 95/100 Bob Campbell MW, The Real Review, July 2023 (2021 Vintage)
"A “husband and wife” business with a focus on grapes from the Bridge Pa Triangle sub-region of Hawke’s Bay. Great value at this price. Lively, high-energy wine with grapefruit, green apple, oyster shell and lemon zest characters supported by fresh, mouth-watering acidity. Silken-textured chardonnay that is almost ethereal. Great food wine—try freshly shucked oysters garnished with a squeeze of lime."

Rated Excellent & 94/100 Cameron Douglas MS (2021 Vintage)
"Very inviting bouquet of power and richness, ripe stone fruits – fresh and baked; vanilla and baking spices with a cashew nut wood layer. Satin-cream textures touch the palate first then contrasting acidity and oak textures. Flavours of orchard fruits from peaches to grapefruit coat the palate. Youthful, plenty of power and richness, fine chalky tannin textures and refreshing acid line. Well made with a lengthy mouthfilling finish. Best drinking from 2023 through 2029."
