Produced by New Zealand's Champion producer of Chardonnays. This recently released 2017 vintage is an excellent follow up to the award winning previous vintages. It offers incredible amounts of Chardonnay satisfaction for very few dollars. Every year the Villa Maria Cellar Selection Hawkes Bay Chardonnay comes through with the goodies.

Sue Courtney, wineoftheweek.com (2017 Vintage)
"Glossy lemon gold with an attractive toast and grilled peach scent. Quite savoury at first then juicy tropical fruit and stonefruit flavours burst through and the soft oak finish lingers with a spicy zing. Not too heavy, terrific socialising wine and top value for the money."

Winery notes (2016 Vintage)
"Classically Hawkes Bay in style this Chardonnay reveals a fragrant nose of grilled peach and nectarine stone fruit, with complexing cashew characters from subtle French oak. A silken textured mouth feel unfolds with layers of fruit and delicate oak spice, subtle mealy flavours and wonderful acidity."

4 Stars & Best Buy Cuisine Chardonnay Tasting, August 2017 (2016 Vintage)
"​The ever-reliable Hawke’s Bay Cellar Selection is one of those can’t-go-wrong chardonnay options. The 2016 version has real stuffing. It’s well-endowed with stonefruit and citrus-infused fruit and has some fat on its bones. Fantastic value."

4 Stars Michael Cooper (2016 Vintage)
"A top buy. The 2016 vintage was 40 per cent hand-picked and fully barrel-fermented (mostly French, 24 per cent new). Already delicious, it is mouthfilling, with generous, ripe stone-fruit flavours, showing good complexity, and a dry, very harmonious finish."
