89/100 451

Rich, ripe, fleshy Chardonnay that captures the ripe peach regional charm but cleverly embellishes it with spicy oak and yeast lees complexity. There’s also emerging toasty bottle complexity adding extra interest. Mouth filling wine that’s approaching peak form.

Tasted: Aug 2009   Closure: S'cap    Average price: NZD $33 (~USD $27)
