Winery notes (2023 Vintage)
"Lifted aromas of culinary herbs, citrus blossom, vanilla, hazelnut and white peach with complex oak spice nuances. The palate is intense and richly layered with a creamy mouthfeel and incredible drive and long persistence. Lingering flavours abound, with crème brûlée, crisp green apple and lemon meringue.

Hand-picked Chardonnay from renowned Two Terraces Vineyard in the Mangatahi sub-region were whole bunch-pressed, with only free run juice progressing to ferment in new and seasoned French oak barriques."

5 Stars & 96/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, March 2025 (2023 Vintage)
"Offering finesse with enticing complexity, the wine shows ripe peach, Gala apple, lemon peel, nougat, and almond meal nuances on the nose. The concentrated palate delivers a plush mouthfeel, accompanied by a refined texture and bright acidity, finishing impressively long and captivating. At its best: 2026 to 2038."

Rated Outstanding & 95/100 Cameron Douglas MS, January 2025 (2023 Vintage)
"A youthful and engaging bouquet with aromas of gun-flint and citrus, fresh peach and grapefruit peel, apple and a lees-based complexity. Delicious on the palate, dry and textured, a fine lees, tannins and phenolics frame core fruit flavours that reflect the bouquet. Youthful still with a tautness and salivating finish. Best drinking from 2025 through 2029."

18.5/20 Joelle Thomson, March 2025 (2023 Vintage)
"This is the newest addition to Tony Bish’s growing Chardonnay stable and it benefits from spontaneous fermentation, lees ageing for 11 months and being bottled sans fining and filtration, all of which bring a rich, fleshy mouthfeel, creamy flavour nuances and a smoothness to this wine.

It is made from 100% Mendoza clone Chardonnay grapes which were hand picked from the Two Terraces Vineyard in Mangatahi, near to Maraekakaho, in Hawke’s Bay. This elevated site provides excellence in the grapes grown on it thanks to free draining red metal sub-soils and a high diurnal variation, which both provide roundness and flesh as well as freshness. This fleshy Chardonnay is youthful now and will reward ageing for up to five years, potentially longer."

5 Stars & 19+/20 (96) Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Reviews, March 2025 (2023 Vintage)
"Lightly hazy, even, pale yellow with a tinge of green. The nose is elegant and complex, with aromas of soft flint stone, brown butter overlying citrus, stonefruit and hazelnut. Medium-bodied, aromas of grapefruit, lemon and starfruit entwined with minerals, delicately portioned flint, hazelnut and spice. The aromatics are lifted with an airiness, and a sherbety tension binds and persists in a linear, lasting finish. This Chardonnay possesses a mineral core, and a beautiful tension reflects a sense of place and winemaking style. Match with butter-poached langoustine and turbot over the next 5-7 years. Handpicked from Two Terraces Vineyard in Mangatahi, 100% Mendoza clone, whole bunch pressed, only free run juice progressed to ferment in Taransaud fine grained 3-year seasoned barriques, 50% new, indigenous yeasts ferment, underwent spontaneous MLF. Aged for 11 months, barrel selected. Unfined and unfiltered, further aged 6 months in bottle."
