"Typical, fresh aromatics of quality Hawke’s Bay Chardonnay are evident on the nose including ripe stone fruit, citrus, and grapefruit. These are complemented on the palate by a creamy richness, hints of roasted nuts and gunflint, and a mouthwatering finish. A delicious Chardonnay of richness and finesse that can enjoyed on its own or partnered with food. Try it with rich seafood dishes or roast chicken."

5 Stars & 18.5/20 (93) Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Reviews, February 2022 (2021 Vintage)
"Bright, pale yellow with some depth, even colour throughout. The nose is soft, gentle aromas of stonefruit, citrus entwined with barrel complexity, spice, a hint of nut and soft butter, along with minerals. Medium-bodied, aromas of apricot, peach and lemon sherbet form a vibrant core, stony minerals, barrel spice flows on a creamy palate with good energy, subtle notes of hazelnut linger on the finish. The fruit shows vibrancy and purity, supported by a focused acid tension; well-portioned creaminess and nutty details contribute to a buoyant flow and linearity. This is an approachable Chardonnay with well-proportioned complexity, acid tension and length. Match with chicken ballotine and fish terrine over the next 4-5 years. Fruit from Gimblett Gravels (50%), Haumoana (37%) and Ohiti (17%), fermented in a combination of stainless steel tanks and 500-litre French oak puncheons to 13.5% alc, no MLF, rested on lees for 6 months."
91/100 Cameron Douglas MS, March 2022 (2021 Vintage)
"Aromas of peaches and cream, vanilla and raw cashew nut, baking spices and fresh yoghurt. Satin-cream textures on the palate are contrasted by the core of fruit flavours that reflect the bouquet and youthful acid line. Very fine wood tannins barrel spice flavours of vanilla, some nutmeg and raw sugar lactone qualities add complexity and depth. Balanced even finish for a ready to drink expression. Best from 2022 through 2026."
Bob Campbell MW, The Real Review (2021 Vintage)
"Light, soft, fresh, fruit-focused chardonnay with grapefruit, nectarine, vanilla and pineapple flavours supported by slightly hard acidity and subtle, ripe tannins. A well-priced wine."
