Winery notes (2025 Vintage)
"Classically Hawkes Bay in style, this Chardonnay reveals a fragrant nose of zesty lemon and nectarine, with aromas of fresh baking from subtle French oak. A silken textured mouthfeel unfolds with layers of fruit, delicate oak spice and subtle mealy flavours topped with wonderful acidity."

4 Stars & Best Buy Cuisine Chardonnay Tasting, August 2025 (2024 Vintage)
"Understated on the nose with white nectarine and citrus aromas and just a hint of oak on the nose and through the palate matched with fresh-baked brioche flavours. A nicely balanced and well-made wine that is fantastic value."

89/100 Cameron Douglas MS, September 2025 (2024 Vintage)
"Flavours of fresh white and yellow peach, red apple with a very mild layer of wood smoke and spice then a stony earthy quality. A silky touch as the wine invades the palate, flavours of stone and tree fruits led by peach and apple then a grapefruit peel suggestion. Balanced, well made and ready to drink from 2025 through 2028+."

5 Stars & 93/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, February 2022 (2021 Vintage)
"Gorgeously fruited and immediately appealing with golden peach, fig, vanillin oak and brioche characters, it's succulent and supple in the mouth displaying excellent weight and persistency. Beautifully rounded and creamy with a lengthy flavoursome finish. At its best: now to 2025."

4 Stars Michael Cooper (2021 Vintage)
"Typically a great buy. The 2021 vintage was fermented and lees-aged for nine months in oak barriques (14 per cent new). It has a fragrant, slightly smoky bouquet, leading into a mouthfilling wine with fresh, generous, peachy flavours and savoury notes adding complexity. Best drinking mid-2023+."
