93/100 'Excellent' | Cameron Douglas MS
Classic Hawke's Bay Chardonnay from Steve Smith MW - the man who drove the winemaking programme for Craggy Range for many years. Now producing wine under his own banner with American tech billionaire Brian Sheth, you won't be disappointed with this premium example. A middle weight chardonnay bursting with elegant toasty characters and lingering citrus flavours providing texture and depth with a delicious acidity. You can't go wrong.

Cameron Douglas MS writes "Another excellent expression of Chardonnay from the SS team, aromas and flavours of peach and grapefruits, whipped cream with a lactic quality. There’s no mistaking the oak signature with wood, spice and smoke highlights. Delicious on the palate with a satin-creamy rounded touch, contrasted by the acid line and impacts of from wood and spice. It’s so totally drinkable. On its own or with food I think you’ll like this style and expression. Best from late 2025 through 2029."
The winery writes "Vibrant pale straw colour with some green tinges. Fresh and fruit driven, almost Chablis-like in style. Complex and light on its feet. Vibrant acidity balanced by a creamy, lingering texture."
