95/100 | Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Wine Reviews
93/100 | Bob Campbell MW
Classic Hawke's Bay Chardonnay from Steve Smith MW - the man who drove the winemaking programme for Craggy Range for many years. Now producing wine under his own banner with American tech billionaire Brian Sheth, you won't be disappointed with this premium example. A middle weight chardonnay bursting with elegant toasty characters and lingering citrus flavours providing texture and depth with a delicious acidity. You can't go wrong.

Tasting Notes
Cameron Douglas MS writes "There’s no mistaking the ripeness of fruit and pungency of stones and new barrel are locked into the bouquet. Nectarines and fresh peaches, grapefruit skin and raw sugar scent of oak. Youthful, vibrant and complex. Equally youthful and bright on the palate with a satin-cream touch then contrasting acidity and core fruit flavours that mirror the bouquet. Tannins from wood then fruit along with a decent acid line set the structure then plushness form ripe fruits and weight from the alcohol and complexity fill-out the palate. A delicious example with power and presence, a great drink on its own or with food."
The winery writes "Vibrant pale straw colour with some green tinges. Fresh and fruit driven, almost Chablis-like in style. Complex and light on its feet. Vibrant acidity balanced by a creamy, lingering texture."
