97/100 & Platinum at Decanter World Wine Awards (World’s equal toughest wine show). One of just two NZ wines to go Platinum placing it in the Top 116 wines of 18,000+ wines reviewed globally. One sip and it’s easy to see the judges would have been seduced by its rare mix of power and elegance. The ultimate luxurious vanilla-tinged style of Chardonnay, fermented in 100% American Oak, 50% new. Crafted from clone 95 and Mendoza fruit off the clay soils of the Southern Valleys, the wine spends 10 months on its lees in barrel, becoming toasty, nutty, buttery, and creamy throughout. The oaky luxuriousness of quality Californian Chardonnay embracing pristine New Zealand fruit. An elegant acid line and mineral freshness keeps you returning to the glass. Thoroughly delicious and its fine acidity will make it an outstanding match with succulent roast pork or poultry between now and 2026.

Gorgeous vanilla bean, grilled nuts, buttered baguette, peach and nectarine with a citrus lift.

Rich, creamy and decadent, it’s bold and mouth-filling with a long, creamy, toasty, buttery and layered palate. Outstanding Chardonnay for those who like a generous, seductively rich palate. It is immaculately balanced by fine citrus acidity and mineral freshness, ensuring you will never tire of it. Indulgent Chardonnay to enjoy with and without food now through 2027+!
