FIVE STARS & CUISINE NO.1 NZ CHARDONNAY | Cuisine Magazine, Sept 2024
GOLD MEDAL | NWAA 2024
94/100 | IWC 2024
An elegant and finely textured style that will appeal to those who prefer their chardonnay with a little less oak influence. The fragrant, flinty nose will captivate you while the elegant palate will leave you reaching for a second glass. Superb.
Church Road's McDonald Series is a celebration of pioneering winemaker Tom McDonald's entrepreneurial spirit. The wines are complex, textural and full of character.

Cuisine Magazine writes "This is an unashamedly full style of chardonnay that knows what it’s about. It’s pale in the glass with aromas of lemons, roasted nuts, struck match and just a hint of salty sea water. The palate is richly textured and complex with concentrated fruit, well- handled oak and stunning minerality that makes it refreshing and delivers ultimate drinkability."
The winery writes "A medium bodied, supple Chardonnay balanced by a fine seam of fresh acidity with beautifully ripe stonefruit, fresh citrus and subtle floral notes, overlaid with subtle complexities of gunflint, cashew nut, and freshly baked bread. Already drinking exceptionally well, with careful cellaring we expect this wine to continue to mature gracefully for 4 years or more from vintage date."
