---|---|---|---|---|
Juicy lemon, tangerine and apple flavors are accented by toast and spice notes and a hint of tobacco on a smooth body. Drink now. Score: 89 Winespectator.com, Wine Spectator 01 January 2018 |

A full and ripe chardonnay that has plenty of toasty oak and savory grilled nuts as well as a swathe of ripe peach and pear fruits. Some grapefruit hints too. The palate has abundant stone fruits with a pithy citrusy edge. Oak gloss over the finish. Drink now. Screw cap. Score: 92 James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com 13 November 2017 |

The 2015 Chardonnay offers delicate grapefruit, white peach and orange blossom notes with hints of brioche, marzipan and honeysuckle. The medium-bodied palate is finely constructed with plenty of freshness to support the savory and stone fruit flavors, finishing with satisfying length.

RS 2 g/l. Subtle first impression with just a hint of smoky reduction and some cedar from the oak. Very fresh acidity, just tamed by the rounded texture. Creamy, citrus and a touch of struck match on the palate. Good but not as good value nor as pure as Kumeu River Chardonnays. Score: 17 Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson.com Maturity: 2017-2025 01 November 2016 |
