In theory, this rich and buttery Chardonnay produced by the very experienced Ant McKenzie (think Dry River, Spy Valley and Framingham), from carefully selected vineyards in coastal Hawkes Bay, should be very good. And in practice, it is!
Winery notes (2022 Vintage)
"Chardonnay is the world's favourite white wine and the variety has found a natural home in Hawke's Bay. Using exceptional fruit grown in various inland vineyards, this Chardonnay has been crafted in a style the preserves the wonderful fruit purity and enhances a richness and complexity through barrel fermentation and ageing."
5 Stars & 93/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, October 2024 (2022 Vintage)
"Wonderfully ripe and complex, the wine shows grilled peach, vanilla, roasted hazelnut and brioche characters on the nose. The palate is equally satisfying with excellent weight and creamy mouthfeel, splendidly framed by juicy acidity, finishing delicious and lingering. At its best: now to 2028."
