A STUNNING HAND-CRAFTED CHARDONNAY
FIVE STARS 94/100 | Sam Kim, Wine Orbit - "Juicy fruit intensity, creamy texture, and finely pitched acidity."
93/100 'Excellent' | Cameron Douglas MS - "Plenty of weight and style."
This is classic, full-bodied chardonnay with all the bells and whistles - a generous, creamy palate, lush stone fruit characters and fine oak influence that will light up any chardonnay lover's radar.
Hand harvested from the Oak Estate Vineyard in Bridge Pa, this 2024 release showcases an elegant, fruit-forward style with a luxurious twist. Aromas of white peach, nougat and fresh brioche lead into a juicy mouthful of ripe stonefruit, beautifully supported by creamy texture and vibrant acidity. Plus, the premium labels add another seal of quality here. Brilliant wine.

Cameron Douglas MS writes "Great colour and bouquet - ripe, fruity and new with scents of peach and apple, a mix of baking spices and wood smoke, a natural complexity, nut and dry stone mineral qualities. Dry with a satin-cream touch, plenty of weight and style with flavours of stone fruits, apple and grapefruit. No mistaking the fruit and some wood tannins, lees and spice compexities. Balanced and well made, drinkable from 2025 through 2030."
Sam Kim, Wine Orbit writes "The enticing bouquet shows golden peach, rockmelon, nougat, and assorted nut aromas with a hint of brioche. The palate is equally appealing with juicy fruit intensity, creamy texture, and finely pitched acidity, making it delectably appealing. At its best: now to 2028."
The winery writes "A delicious, full bodied Hawke’s Bay Chardonnay. Aromas of white peach, nougat and brioche. Juicy fruit on the palate with a creamy texture balanced with a refreshing acidity."
