"Made by the Charmat process where fermentation occurs in a pressure tank rather than a bottle. A blend of pinot noir (65%) and chardonnay. A gentle wine with appealing purity and subtle strawberry, raspberry and summer fruit flavours supported by an ethereal texture. Charming and dry" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review

"A blend of two classic grapes, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay; it is immediately appealing on the nose showing watermelon, raspberry, stone fruit and floral aromas, followed by a refreshing palate that is beautifully supple and juicy. A delightfully expressed sparkling wine offering bright fruit flavours and fine texture, leading to a lengthy tasty finish" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Dec 2018

1 x Matahiwi Estate Holly Hawke’s Bay Chardonnay 2024

Awarded 91/100 Points: Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier

"A lovely bouquet of youthful freshness and varietal style, scents of stone and peach, clay and apple, lees and citrus pith. Dry in a medium_ weighted expression, gently creamy with acidity for contrast to the fruit and lees touches. Balanced and well made, ready to drink too from day of purchase through 2029" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Nov 2025

Sourced from a mature vineyard in Hawke’s Bay, this is a rich, barrel fermented Chardonnay with the accent on complexity and fruit weight. Grilled stonefruit, hazelnut and citrus aromas combine with hints of toasty cedar, leading to a silky and long finish. Already enjoyable, this wine will continue to improve over the next 3 to 7 years. Single Vineyard.

"Beautifully perfumed and enticing with dark cherry, violet, clove and roasted nut characters, followed by succulent palate that's fleshy and finely textured. Stylish and elegantly flavoursome with a sustained velvety finish. At its best: now to 2030" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

"There’s often nothing more satisfying than the bouquet of a well made wine that ticks the boxes of variety and expresses a style reflect place and time as well as attention to detail - I find these attributes clear and intense in this wine. Aromas and flavours of spiced dark cherry and plum, wild red flowers, nut, dried herb and wild strawberry. Tannins are firm and in abundance, acidity adds tautness and power, there’s a core of fruit and oak impression offering anise and brown baking spices and some new wood bite. Well made, still taut and youthful with a lengthy gently saline finish. Best drinking from late 2023 through 2030" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Apr 2023

On the palate, layers of juicy peaches and tropical fruit intertwine with luxurious honey, delicate floral notes, and a hint of zesty citrus. The result is a rich, elegant wine with a brilliant light golden hue and a lingering, opulent finish. 

Perfect with fruit desserts, soft cheeses, or simply savoured on its own to celebrate life’s sweetest moments.
