Description
"Gorgeously opulent and inviting, the bouquet shows golden peach, mango, vanilla and cedar characters with subtle brioche complexity. The palate is concentrated and wonderfully weighted, displaying rich texture and fabulous fruit power, brilliantly supported by plush mouthfeel and a lingering expansive finish. At its best: now to 2021" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, 2018
"Complax and layered bouquet, nutty, buttery, toasty, vanilla and baking spice. Roasted peaches and nectarine flavours, some butterscotch and cashew. Dry, full-bodied and rich in flavour and character. Flavours reflect the nose, medium acidity, medium+ alcohol, quite complex and lengthy finish. Best from now and through 2024" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, 2018
Grilled stonefruit and citrus aromas combine with hints of toasty cedar, leading to a silky and long finish. Sourced from a single vineyard in the Dartmoor Valley in Hawkes Bay, this is a rich, barrel fermented Chardonnay with the accent on complexity and fruit weight.
The fruit for this wine was pressed straight after picking, with the cloudy juice then being transferred directly for fermentation into French oak barrels, with 40% new oak, using approximately 60% wild yeasts. Once fermentation was complete, the wine was left on lees in barrel for approx. 11 months to promote texture and mouthfeel.
The fruit for this wine was sourced from a single vineyard in the upper reaches of the Dartmoor Valley in Hawkes Bay. The vineyard is planted in two different clones of Chardonnay, Mendoza and Clone 15. The Mendoza in particular gives concentrated, focused fruit at low crop levels. This ensures even ripening and great flavour development.
Food Match: Perfect with seafood or pasta made with rich, cream-based sauces or with roasted chicken.
