SELECTED FOR THE 2024 ANNUAL HAWKE'S BAY CHARDONNAY SELECTION

93/100 | Stephen Wong MW, The Real Review

Rod Easthope forged his reputation during his years as Head Winemaker at Craggy Range. These days his focus is on Easthope Winegrowers where he makes small parcel wines of the very highest calibre. The ethos behind Easthope's wines is to put the work in to the vineyard and let the quality of fruit speak for itself - and they have more than achieved that goal. 

This is handcrafted Hawkes Bay Chardonnay of the highest order. Handpicked and 100% whole bunch pressed, it's rich and layered, showcasing all of the hallmark Hawke's Bay Chardonnay characters of ripe stonefruits and a hint of nougat. This chardonnay is delightful on its own yet also pairs beautifully with your favourite seafood or chicken dishes.

Tasting Notes

Winemaker Rod Easthope writes "Classic aromas ofpeaches and cream take centrestage, complemented by hints ofroasted hazelnut and acacia. Thepalate is rich and layered,showcasing ripe fruit flavours, atouch of nougat, and a long,lingering finish."
Stephen Wong MW, The Real Review writes "Woodsmoke and wet slate preside over restrained fruit with delicate floral notes, apple and white peach. There is good concentration with a creamy, almond and hazelnut mid-palate which softens to broad, round and ripe stone-fruit. A layer of oyster-like salinity peeks through with well-submerged acidity. Tighter on the finish. This will be better with some time in bottle to bring its disparate elements into better balance."
