A fruit-driven wine with aromas of apple and peach mingled with hints of orange blossom leading to a palate of fruity character. Lively and crisp, the wine also displays a creamy texture, balance and pleasing length.

The scent of white flowers and fresh citrus fruits – lemons, limes and grapefruit – all temptingly mingled with the savory complexity of toasted nuts and oatmeal. The silky palate shows lively citrus flavours and seamlessly integrated spicy French oak. Expresses the combination of natural yeast fermentation and vibrant Marlborough fruit in a wine that will age gracefully over the next five to seven years.

“A little [on the subtle side.] Aromas of oatmeal, struck match, peaches and cream. Crisp, good concentration and balance. Full bodied and silky. Long finish with some minerals. Felton Road Tasting, Bannockburn, 31st July 2009 with winemaker Blair Walter.”
Wine Advocate

Nicely made and somewhat laid-back but lacking in fruit with hints of peach, mango and pineapple. This is a rounded wine, with integrated flavors and great balance that persists well.
Screw cap

“This is ripe and focused, with distinct pineapple character at the core, riding over a tight, mouthwatering frame that lets the mineral-accented fruit hover beautifully on the long finish.”
Wine Spectator

Slightly tight in structure, with a tart, racy edge to the toasty pear and tobacco flavors, lingering on the expressive finish. [Very nice now but] this has plenty to develop.

” Lovely burgundian reduced nose (as opposed to a screwcap reduced nose!). Smoky. Quite different from most NZ Chardonnays. Really racy and confident. Well integrated and lovely already though there is sufficient density here to believe in some useful future evolution.”

This wine has been made utilising the traditional techniques which have made the chardonnay of the Burgundy region in France so famous: a hands-off approach so that until the last, or blending, stage, the wine has largely made itself.
Look for stone fruit and corn characters supported by hints of bacon and grilled mushrooms. Some minerality keeps the chardonnay fruit ballanced.

The palate is silky with concentrated stone fruit and floral flavors. This powerful wine retains elegance through its refreshing acidity, fine structure and lingering finish. Quite well-made, upscale and up there with the fancy Californians at a much better price.

Soft and appealing for its peach and pear flavors, finishing smooth. Drink now. 7,000 cases made.
