87/100 45

Big, rich and creamy wine with masses of sizzled butter, spicy oak, white peach and citrus/grapefruit flavours. The wine is dry with a smooth texture and enough tangy acid to make it very food-friendly. Complex Chardonnay with character.

Tasted: Feb 2009   Closure: S'cap    Average price: NZD $36 (~USD $30)
