Long finish
"Accessible, fruity chardonnay with peach, nectarine. lime. citrus. vanilla bean, ginger and spicy oak flavours. Soft-textured, inviting wine with development potential" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review

Hand selected fruit with 12 months maturation in new and one year old French oak, the wine is beautifully textured, full bodied with butterscotch and spicy oak flavours. Displaying mineral tones from the Terrior, this wine has a delightful and very long finish.

The opinion: very nice and worth every cent especially 3 years on. Lovely.

Single vineyard barrel aged Chardonnay from the Alluvialle soils of Hawkes Bay.

The Tight Cluster 2014

Sticky, ripe sweetness that almost resembles a port. It’s textbook Aussie Shiraz, in fizzy form. A lot of vanilla on the nose, followed by an abundance of ripe cherry, chocolate and liquorice on the palate. Short finish, but tremendous fun. — 4 years ago

New Day Meadery

Breakfast Magpie Honey Wine

Espresso flavor is strong enough it seems like it should feel gritty in my mouth. Strong blackberry flavor. A polarizing mead! Seems like people either love it or hate it, but nobody forgets it. — 8 years ago

Jacques Bardelot

Brut Champagne Blend

My nephew came ten days early!!! The WF down the street had this in the refrigerated case so it was an easy choice. His name is Armend and he and momma are doing awesome. The Champagne had brioche on the nose and loads of meringue on the palate. Quite attractive. Worth swooping for the price. — 5 years ago
