"Delightfully expressed and inviting, the bouquet shows summer peach, rockmelon, vanilla, and roasted hazelnut aromas. It's succulent and fleshy in the mouth, delivering a creamy mouthfeel with well-pitched acidity, finishing long and soothing. At its best: now to 2029" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Oct 2025

Butterscotch, golden queen peach and freshly baked brioche are apparent on the nose whilst the palate shows off a rich creamy texture smothering with layers of pineapple, melon and ripe citrus fruits all underpinned with warm vanilla flavours from ten months French oak barrel maturation. A glorious example of Hawke's Bay Chardonnay at it’s finest.
