Cuvar Iris Chardonnay 2022
Hawkes Bay, New Zealand
92/100 'Premium' | Cameron Douglas MS
Lead by the winemaker known as 'the father of New Zealand wine', Sir George Fistonich, Čuvar Winery launched in 2023 to continue his passion for winemaking and viticulture. Čuvar, meaning Guardian in Croatian, celebrates Sir George's Croatian heritage which is also reflected in the label. The Iris is Croatia's national flower - a symbol of hope, wisdom and valour.
Dry and velvety, the 2022 Iris Chardonnay showcases aromas of peaches, cream and vanilla that translate beautifully to the palate. Well worth a try.

Tasting Notes
The winery writes "The forthright bouquet introduces bursts of candied tropical fruits intertwined with notes reminiscent of warm fruit crumble. Gentle oak wraps around the palate of balanced acid and ripe fruit. Nothing is too dominant — the fruit, oak, acid and flavours all sing in harmony."
Cameron Douglas MS writes "Familiar scents and flavours of peaches and cream with a clay and lees touches, some vanilla and wood smoke from a lick of oak. On the palate the wine touches with a satin-cream mouthfeel then acidity and some fine tannins add breadth, texture and length. Fruit flavours are persistent with a citrus peel touch, balanced and well made, ready to drink from day of purchase through 2026."
