"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.
