An absolutely stunning Chardonnay from the beautiful biodymanic and organic Wrekin vineyard in Marlborough. The wine is made by experience winemaker Hätsch Kalberer (Fromm) true to the style of a petit chablis, uncluttered. Elegant complexity where nothing dominates.
Winery notes (2021 vintage)
"A bright, uncluttered chardonnay with a zing. Citrus focused with hints of tea leaf. The palate is vibrant where crisp acidity underlies the softer mouthfeel and finishes on a clean chablis-like finish."

5 Stars & 95/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, May 2025 (2022 Vintage)
"Restrained and delicately lifted, the bouquet shows white flesh peach, lemon pith, wet limestone, and oatmeal nuances, followed by a linear palate that’s finely flowing and lingering. Wonderfully harmonious and structured, the wine offers fabulous fruit purity with complexity. From their single vineyard in the Southern Valleys. Certified organic & biodynamic. At its best: now to 2035."
Rated Outstanding & 95/100 Cameron Douglas MS, November 2023 (2020 Vintage)
"A delicious wine on the nose and palate with a bouquet of fresh citrus from grapefruit then lemon, white peach and apple, there’s layers of mineral and fine lees with any oak used feels minimal. Fine tannins and acidity set a sound foundation enhancing the mineral message and promoting the core fruit and sense of place expression. Well made, a wine that tastes and feels young still. A fine silky texture and plenty of acidity. Best drinking from late 2024 through 2030."
94/100 James Suckling (2020 Vintage)
"A bright and crunchy chardonnay with sliced apple, lime, lemon and stone. Hint of nougat, too. Full to medium body. Phenolic tension frames the wine nicely and adds a crunchy feel. Dry. Drink or hold."
