87/100 45

Single vineyard Chardonnay with pure mineral and slightly floral flavours that show a seasoning of oak and brioche character. Weighty wine supported by a solid core of tannins and acidity. Gutsy Chardonnay that’s best with food.

Tasted: Mar 2010   Closure: S'cap    Average price: NZD $43 (~USD $36)
