Winery notes (2020 Vintage)
"Established in 1985, the Glover Family Vineyards have inspired the family’s passion for winegrowing. This Single Vineyard Organic Chardonnay expresses the ethereal, aromatic and structural flair of the Dillons Point Sub-Region in Marlborough, New Zealand.
Aromas of spice, citrus, lemon curd and subtle funk. On the palate, juicy, crisp, texture and line. Handpicked, pressed direct to barrel, feral ferment. Marlborough Chardonnay, flint, funk and lime; a coiled spring with richness and freaky talent."
Rated Excellent & 94/100 Cameron Douglas MS, August 2020 (2020 Vintage)
"Fantastic bouquet with aromas of fresh white and yellow peach, gun flint and white spice, citrus and apple then vanilla with a fresh cashew nut quality from barrel. Excellent weight and texture on the palate with a velvet mouthfeel then flavours of apple and grapefruit, peach and gunflint. Salivating and fresh, medium+ weight and a lengthy finish."
4 Stars Michael Cooper (2020 Vintage)
"This single-vineyard wine is grown at Dillons Point, in the lower Wairau Valley, hand-picked from mature vines, and fermented and matured in large French oak casks. The 2020 vintage is certified organic. Bright, light lemon/green, it is a vigorous, still youthful wine, with crisp, citrusy flavours, gentle mealy and biscuity notes adding complexity, and a tightly structured finish. Best drinking mid-2023+."
