Description
- French oak
- Golden peach
- Popcorn
- Fleshy mouthfeel
"It’s gorgeously ripe and complex on the nose with golden peach, vanilla, roasted hazelnut and popcorn characters. The concentrated palate delivers terrific weight and intensity, beautifully complemented by creamy texture and fleshy mouthfeel. Delectably expressed and lingering. At its best: now to 2028" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Nov 2021
"Aromas of roasted stone fruits, a cashew nut and toasty barrel complexity, kitchen spices of vanilla and cinnamon accentuated by a warm stone mineral quality. Full-bodied, creamy and dry with toasty fine tannins, flavours of roasted yellow fleshed stone fruits, ripe citrus and a brazil nut butter texture. A balanced, persistent core of flavours, creamy texture, a whisper of sweet oak and lengthy finish. Delicious and ready to drink from 2021 through 2026" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Nov 2021
Single vineyard barrel aged Chardonnay from the Alluvialle soils of Hawkes Bay.
Hand selected fruit with 12 months maturation in new and one year old French oak, the wine is beautifully textured, full bodied with butterscotch and spicy oak flavours. Displaying mineral tones from the Terrior, this wine has a delightful and very long finish.
