93/100 'Excellent' | Cameron Douglas MS
This highly respected Gisborne Chardonnay is unoaked, but it's so rich and generous in the mouth that you'd never know. We love it for its mouthfilling, ripe summer stonefruits. We love it for its soft texture and rich creaminess. And we love it for its sheer deliciousness. This is impressive wine that ranks amongst New Zealand's very finest unoaked chardonnay expressions.
Vegetarian and vegan friendly.

Cameron Douglas MS writes "Youthful, new, ripe and pure fruited bouquet showcasing aromas of grapefruit then apple, peach then barrel spice. The wine opens up nicely on the palate with flavours of fresh and baked white fleshed orchard fruits, lemon then gentle barrel spices, a lower oak, older oak impact. Plush textures with a satin-cream mouthfeel, a light cashew-nut quality, super fine tannins and balanced even finish."
The winery writes "Pale straw with golden highlights. Ripe melon and peach abound with butterscotch and fig notes. A Gisborne favourite, this Chardonnay is rich, ripe fruit, with peach flavours and an inherent creaminess."
