Chardonnay 2022 750ml
La Niña placed her thumbprint over Waitaki for the second year running, resulting in a cooler, more humid summer across the region. This produced consistent, uniform grape yields with more intense fruit flavours. We recorded 820 growing degree days, with none falling below 70% humidity. Harvest dates followed the traditional timing of the last week of April, and as a result, we were spared too many sleepless nights frost fighting.
A generous bouquet with lush fruit and minerals. Beautiful tension persist on a chalky mouthfeel to a lengthen, refined finish.

Deepening yellow with some golden touches lead to a bouquet and palate of complexity and completeness. Aromas and flavours of peaches and Brazil-nut, lemon and red apple, layers of wood smoke and spices then mineral and a saline touch. There’s no doubt about the complexity. I tasted this wine almost two years ago, it remains stable, fresh and lengthy. Well made with fine fruit and some wood tannins, acidity frames the fruit nicely. On its own or with food, a lovely example. Best from day of purchase through 2029.

93 Points - Excellent
The grapes have been handpicked and whole-bunch pressed before barrel fermentation. A generous, textural palate combines minerality and a creamy richness, with long-lasting aromas of white flowers, bread crumb, and complex spices — fresh ginger, white pepper, and vanilla bean.
