FIVE STARS 95/100 | Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
95 POINTS | Cameron Douglas MS
Beautifully presented and packed in flat cellar six packs, this exciting release is a beautiful expression of fine Hawkes Bay Chardonnay. Floral and aromatically intriguing. The palate is full and soft, rich and rounded. A star is born.
The winery writes "Medium straw appearance. The aroma is a medley of nectarine, peach, apple blossom, with hints of almond and nutty richness. These aromas flow onto the richly textured palate that displays summer stone-fruit notes with hints of almond and a bright citrus finish that lingers and refreshes."
Cameron Douglas MS writes "A complex and layered bouquet with very specific and distinctive aromas of tension and poise, a mineral and fruit core contrasted by delicate floral leesy coil. Fine, complex and layered on the palate lead by texture and tension, fine lees and fruit tannins, acidity and wonderful heartbeat of style. Fruit flavours of grapefruit and white peach, apple and pith. Very lengthy finish with complexity, definition, texture and purity. If you are a fan of Chablis then this wine will impress with its fine oyster shell flick right on the finish"
Sam Kim writes "Gorgeously styled and elegantly expressed, the bouquet shows nectarine, fig, nougat and oatmeal characters with a hint of wet limestone. The palate is equally engaging with excellent weight and roundness, wonderfully complemented by creamy mouthfeel and beautifully pitched acidity."
