Tony Bish Golden Egg Chardonnay MAGNUM 2020
$125.00
Hawkes Bay, New Zealand
95/100 'Outstanding' | Cameron Douglas MS
FIVE STARS 95/100 | Sam Kim, Wine Orbit - "Exquisitely refined and elegantly complex."
We can finally answer the age old question - the egg definitely came first. Tony Bish was the first producer in New Zealand to use concrete, egg-shaped fermenters and this little bit of winemaking magic works wonders on the wine's texture, with a palate that is full and soft, rich and rounded.
This exciting 2020 MAGNUM release comes with stellar reviews and is a beautiful expression of fine Hawke's Bay Chardonnay. Floral and aromatically intriguing. A star is born.

Tasting Notes
Cameron Douglas MS writes "Intriguing and complex, fine lees and pure fruit aromas lead to flavours of the same on the palate. A core of grapefruit and peach, lees and gun-flinty mineral laden soil flavours. Fine fruit tannins and delicate mealy seamless mouthfeel. A fantastic expression that doesn’t need oak to show its purity and innocence."
Sam Kim, Wine Orbit writes "Exquisitely refined and elegantly complex, the wine shows apricot, grapefruit, oatmeal and cashew notes on the nose, leading to a concentrated palate displaying outstanding depth and focus. It's seamlessly flowing, backed by bright acidity, finishing impressively long and textured."
The winery writes "Pale straw with green highlights. Lifted white flower aromas with lime blossom, honeydew melon, and a flinty dry stone minerality. The palate is energetic with pink grapefruit, honeydew melon juiciness, and a silky textural flow. The finish has a saline mineral quality with fresh and textured acidity leading to a salivating palatableness."
