GOLD MEDAL & 95/100 | IWC 2024
A TOP WINE OF 2023 & 97/100 'Outstanding' | Cameron Douglas MS
96/100 | Bob Campbell MW
FIVE STARS | Michael Cooper
Truly exceptional Hawke’s Bay Chardonnay in a serious large format. Crafted by the chardonnay master himself, Tony Bish, this MAGNUM edition of Skeetfield 2022 takes everything we love about the standard bottle and dials it up in wow-factor.
Sourced from the legendary dry-farmed Skeetfield Vineyard and made exclusively from old vine Mendoza clone fruit, this is a rich, concentrated, 100% barrel fermented stunner. It’s a layered, powerful expression with serious texture, complexity and that signature Bish exuberance.
The magnum format adds prestige and ageing grace – perfect for collectors, dinner tables or just showing off.

Cameron Douglas MS writes "Striking bouquet with a complex and appealing bouquet of white fleshed fruits and gun flint, apple and new barrel, layers of fine lees suggesting chalk and fresh unroasted nut. Equally complex and delicious on the palate with a crisp and finely textured mouthfeel, acidity is on point carrying a fine lees and saline texture, flavours of white fleshed stone fruits and citrus are persistent adding weight and finesse, complexity comes from the synergies and purity of fruit, spice and nut. Such a well made wine reflecting its vineyard and expert wine making. With a lengthy finish this wine will reward those who invest and cellar. Best drinking from 2024 through 2030+."
