We recommend this delightful Chardonnay to be paired with a citrus marinated chicken breasts and pink-eyed pea relish.

Beautifully fruited and elegantly complex, the bouquet shows golden peach, vanilla, roasted hazelnut and nougat characters, leading to a succulent palate that is creamy and lingering.

‘It’s immediately appealing on the nose with ripe stone fruit, rockmelon, nougat and oatmeal notes, leading to a beautifully rounded palate offering ripe fruit flavours with creamy texture and well-pitched acidity. Delightfully harmonious and smooth with tasty flavours. At its best: now to 2026’ – Wine Orbit September 2023 - 5 STARS - VINTAGE 2023

‘This is going to be a chubby Gisborne fellow, not fat, but hearty as Chardonnay goes. Very well made and structured. Fruit statement starting to emerge while young and shows very promising. A warm, uncluttered style, nicely balanced and Gisborne at its best.’ - 5 STARS - VINTAGE 2020 Peter Saunders
