83/100 35

Fresh and lively Chardonnay with a slightly spritzig character. Deliciously drinkable wine that will appeal to the anti-oak, or should that be “pro-fruit” brigade. Nicely balanced with a touch of sweetness and enough acidity to prevent cloying. Well priced.

Tasted: Apr 2009   Closure: S'cap    Average price: NZD $17 (~USD $14)
