Central Otago
Left Bank Chardonnay 2023
“Perfectly poised chardonnay with vanilla, peach, hazelnut, and spicy oak flavours. Appealing purity and restrained power with a suggestion of oyster shell mineral character” Bob Campbell MW / The Real Review
"Some bolder layers in the bouquet led by spice and citrus then a stony mineral quality before the fruit flavours of apple and pear, some white fleshed stone fruits and textures kick in. Plenty of weight with acidity and alcohol with contrasting textures and flavours reflecting the bouquet. Medium length and complexity overall."Cameron douglas MS, 92 points
"Pale straw in the glass with aromas of grapefruit, peach, nectarine and light
melon tones. Hints of soft spice, nougat, pressed wildflowers, grilled nuts, vanillin oak, lightly crushed herbs and stone. Mouth-filling and textured with pure peach and citrus fruits, clotted cream, spice, nutty oak and a long, slinky, savoury finish." Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion, 94 points.
