Big Villa FLAGSHIP Chardonnay 2023
Hawkes Bay, New Zealand
ANOTHER EXCITING NEW BIG VILLA CHARDONNAY RELEASE!
FIVE STARS 95/100 | Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
This is the seventh Flagship Chardonnay we have released under our Big Villa label, and the fifth in a row to score 94pts or more from Wine Orbit!
Handpicked fruit was sourced from a range of regional Hawke's Bay vineyards, and this wine has been given every possible attention in the winery. This is a generously styled, ripe and creamy wine that was 100% barrel fermented with approx 25% new oak. Full-bodied and mouthfilling with layers of spicy oak and fresh citrus notes, this is a vibrant, balanced chardonnay with lots of action in the glass. The finish is fresh, zingy and impressively long.
At just $21.99 with the Advintage Advantage, it is impressive value and we defy any fan of premium barrel-fermented Hawke's Bay Chardonnay to disagree with that statement.

Tasting Notes
Tour de force barrel fermented Hawke's Bay Chardonnay. Full bodied and mouthfilling with layers of spicy oak and fresh citrus notes, this is a perfectly balanced, impressive wine that will stand up to the most discerning scrutiny. It's loaded with peach and nougat flavours and an underlying layer of creme brulee. The finish is as clean as a whistle and impressively long.
Sam Kim, Wine Orbit writes "Gorgeously styled and enticing, the wine shows golden peach, citrus peel, vanilla and roasted hazelnut aromas on the nose, followed by a richly textured palate offering terrific weight and drive. Brilliantly framed by juicy acidity, finishing impressively long and flavoursome. At its best: now to 2029."
Richly flavoured. Complex. Complete.
