"2016 was a moderately challenging vintage but Village Chardonnay is better than ever" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine
This wine is delightful as an aperitif, and even better to drink with fish and shellfish.

Michael Cooper’s Buyers Guide 2018
Description
"Instantly appealing, it is fresh and mouthfilling with generous, peachy, slightly biscuit flavours, finely balanced acidity, considerable complexity and good length. Offering excellent value, it should be at its best mid -2018+" Michael Cooper’s Buyers Guide 2018
"With an inclusion of 25% Hawke's Bay fruit this wine offers rich tropical fruit aromas of melons, pomegranates and fragrant ripe peaches. Extremely fruit-forward. The palate has a pulpy fruit texture. Evenly paced acid drive. Drinking very well now" Nick Stock, jamessuckling.com, Nov 2017
"2016 was a moderately challenging vintage but Village Chardonnay is better than ever. Their new crossflow filter has given added hi-fidelity to the wine according to winemaker, Michael Brajkovich. Lemon, pineapple and peach flavours with good weight and a bone-dry, slightly grippy, finish. Purity and power" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Aug 2017
This wine was fermented 25% in old French oak barriques, and 75% in stainless steel tanks, so there is very little oak influence on either nose or palate. This has allowed the vibrant fruit to show through beautifully with lively lime and lemon aromas and a flinty, mineral edginess with hints of fig and white peach.
The weighty mid-palate also shows peachy ripeness along with crisp acid minerality that gives the wine a refreshing cleansing quality.
Food Pairing: This wine is delightful as an aperitif, and even better to drink with fish and shellfish.
