The rise and rise of the Californian Chardonnay category in our domestic market knows no bounds as Kiwis discover the sheer value for money that these big, bold, robustly framed wines offer fans of 'traditional Chardonnay.' It's such a rich and generous 100% barrel fermented style; up-front and immediately attractive with ripe fruit, creamy oak and pronounced buttery, creme-caramel flavours.

Tasting Notes
Pacificana showcases classic California Chardonnay for a new generation of wine enthusiasts. 100% barrel fermented, then aged in American oak barrels with various levels of toast, this 2019 Chardonnay strikes the perfect balance between oaky, buttery richness and fruity elegance.
Cameron Douglas MS writes "A classic richer, creamier expression with a bouquet and flavour package of ripe peach and apricot, red apple and and a leesy oaky yoghurt mouthfeel. A dry wine with fine wood and fruit tannins, medium+ acid line and slippery, peaches and cream finish. Balanced, well made, rather classic and very easy to drink. Best from day of purchase through 2029."
Sam Kim, Wine Orbit writes "Complex and enticing, the wine exhibits aromas of mango, pineapple, vanillin oak, and butterscotch on the nose. The palate delivers excellent weight and a plush mouthfeel, splendidly structured by fine acidity. Generous and flavoursome with a lengthy, satisfying finish. At its best: now to 2027."

ok
Tried this one as I love Bogle and hoped for a similar experience. Personally didn't like this as much as bogle as it didn't have the same amount of honey/oak. If you like bogle, then this isn't any better (in my opinion). Stick with Bogle.
