FIVE STAR MALBOROUGH CHARDONNAY FROM TOP PRODUCER
FIVE STARS 95/100 | Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Wine Reviews
FIVE STARS 94/100 | Sam Kim, Wine Orbit - "Harmonious and flavoursome, offering terrific drinking."
90/100 | Stephen Wong, The Real Review
We have great admiration for Starborough's small but perfectly formed portfolio and this 2023 Chardonnay release is another banger from this proven performer. Sam Kim's glowing review sums up this wine perfectly - it's wonderfully complex and inviting, with a richly textured palate displaying excellent weight and persistency. Aged in oak barrels, this is proper, full-bodied, concentrated chardonnay that is brimming with hallmark characters of ripe citrus, hazlenut and toasty oak. We know you won't be disappointed.

Sam Kim, Wine Orbit writes "Wonderfully complex and inviting, the wine shows golden peach, citrus peel, vanilla, hazelnut and brioche aromas, leading to a richly textured palate displaying excellent weight and persistency. Harmonious and flavoursome, offering terrific drinking."
Stephen Wong writes "Musky, slightly reductive nose with a whiff of smoky oak. Modern, flinty reduction with grilled lemon fruit. On the weightier side, with good concentration throughout. Well-judged oak, fairly chewy phenolics and finishes savoury."
Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Wine Reviews writes "The Sauvignon Blanc is beautifully composed with tropical fruit, herb and spice layers, excellent in length and intensity."
