Gold Medal & 95/100 – International Wine Challenge 2024
Cameron Douglas MS Top 12 Hawkes Bay Chardonnay Collection 2022

From the Gunn family’s famous 'Skeetfield' vineyard. 100% Old Vine Mendoza Chardonnay fermented and matured for 12 months in Taransaud French oak barriques. This is a suave, detailed wine with a real sense of power. Stunning.

Winery notes (2022 Vintage)
"The Skeetfield Vineyard has old vine dry-farmed Mendoza Chardonnay vines. The fruit was hand-picked and whole bunch pressed with minimal settling. This wine was 100% barrel fermented and matured, with 60% new Taransaud French oak. Indigenous ferment and malo-lactic ferment have provided complexity and depth. Battonage on lees has yielded a superb textural quality. Minimal handling to bottling has preserved the purity and intensity of the wine. Skeetfield is a wine with exceptional power and grace, and will greatly reward the patient."

Rated Outstanding & 97/100 Cameron Douglas MS, September 2023 (2022 Vintage)
"A complex and appealing bouquet of white fleshed fruits and gun flint, apple and new barrel, layers of fine lees suggesting chalk and fresh unroasted nut. Equally complex and delicious on the palate with a crisp and finely textured mouthfeel, acidity is on point carrying a fine lees and saline texture, flavours of white fleshed stone fruits and citrus are persistent adding weight and finesse, complexity comes from the synergies and purity of fruit, spice and nut. Such a well made wine reflecting its vineyard and expert wine making. With a lengthy finish this wine will reward those who invest and cellar. Best drinking from 2024 through 2030+."

5 Stars Michael Cooper (2022 Vintage)
"The classy, single-vineyard 2022 vintage was hand-picked from mature vines at Ohiti, and fermented and matured for a year in French oak barriques. Bright, light lemon/green, it has a fragrant, complex, youthful bouquet. Mouthfilling and savoury, it is a vigorous, finely structured wine, with concentrated, yet delicate, peachy, slightly citrusy and biscuity flavours, oak-derived complexity, fresh acidity and a lengthy finish. Best drinking mid-2025+."

5 Stars & 97/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, August 2023 (2022 Vintage)
"This is seductive and enticing on the nose showing apricot, rockmelon, nougat, roasted hazelnut and oatmeal characters, leading to a superbly weighted palate displaying outstanding concentration and depth. Seamless and flowing, the wine offers richness as well as refinement, finishing impressively long and creamy. Flatteringly classy and hugely appealing. At its best: 2024 to 2036."

95/100 IWC Judges' Comments (2022 Vintage)
"Red apple, pear and hints of nutty oak. Firm and refreshing structure leading to a long finish."

95/100 David Walker Bell, WineFolio.co.nz, July 2024 (2022 Vintage)
"A wonderfully fragrant bouquet, with a direct boldness and power. Red apple, white peach, gunflint, grapefruit, biscuit crumbs, vanilla, lemon peel and spring flowers. The ripe fruit is framed by a warm note of french oak. Dynamic and energetic through the palate, with complexity and layers of flavours. Ginger, pepper and cardamom spices jostle with chalky lees influences – the crisp acidity delivering a line and directness. A riotous energy throughout, and a persistent finish."
