89/100 451

Mellow, fleshy Chardonnay that’s a mix of charming Gisborne fruit and clever winemaking influence. The wine has subtle peachy fruit, spicy oak, sizzled butter and nutty yeast lees characters. The texture is fine-grained and the finish bone-dry.

Tasted: Apr 2009   Closure: S'cap    Average price: NZD $25 (~USD $21)
