Colour: | As a young wine, this is pale in the glass with pale gold highlights. As the wine ages, the colour will deepen. |
Bouquet: | The nose is typical of Gisborne Chardonnay in an early year. It is a delightful melange of peach, nectarine and melon. |
Palate: | The palate is full of fresh fruit character, yet also has richness, weight and length. |
“Beautifully fruited and elegantly complex, the wine shows yellow peach, mango, cedar and vanilla characters on the nose. It's equally appealing on the palate, offering supple texture and refreshing acidity, together with attractive oak infusion, making it very tasty. At its best: now to 2022.” Sam Kim, Nov 2020
