February 2, 2020 - Light golden color, clear, no sediments.
Butter, a mix of fresh and dried fruit, lemon, lemonpeel, tropical fruit, dried pineappel, a hint of toasted oak/smoke.
t's full bodied without becoming flabby, medium+ acidity, mineraly, very long. The wiine prickels the tung, but there is no CO2 in the wine. I
This wine is really complex, it's well balanced and it's delicious!
January 16, 2019 - Angelica Wine Club - New Zealand (Sawa Restaurant, Stanley Street): "Butter, toast, peach over slight lemon, slight toasted nut and sweet spice. Juicy acidity, butter and butterscotch quite warm and broad.
I called chardonnay, hawkes bay and 2017"

May 15, 2018 - This is very impressive from Marlborough, chablis style with notes of minerality, citrus and a good finish. Enjoyed this.
April 3, 2018 - I like this Chardonnay, lighter but still something there. Refreshing and some nice minerality.
February 16, 2017 - Straw, Rich aromas, burnt caramel, with stone fruit. Complex palate, butterscotch well balanced with acidity of garden lemon and braeburn. Medium to long finish. Stood up well to a rich creamy pasta dish
December 4, 2016 - Lighter Chardonnay, but zesty with melon and lime flavors.
November 6, 2016 - Same as last time. It's a decent wine but the name adds to the price without really delivering
October 20, 2016 - Good but not outstanding and thus a tad overpriced given the name. Typical NZ Chardonnay and certainly pleasant drinking
May 1, 2016 - More acid than their Te Koko. A lot more buttery on the start. Nice and fresh though, less of the buttery finish than you'd think from the first taste. Nice.
