"Weighty chardonnay with ginger, savoury/toasted nut, apple, and citrus flavours. Crisp, dry wine with a lingering finish. Accessible wine that is drinking well now. Good food wine, well made with a good balance" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Feb 2024

This classically styled Hawke's Bay Chardonnay displays aromas of sweet lemon, nectarine and grilled nuts. Subtle hints of butter and smoky oak add complexity and layers of flavour. The palate is linear and refreshing with the riper fruit notes supported by juicy acidity.

This wine was made with a blend of fruit from our Keltern vineyard in Maraekakaho and Phoenix vineyard in the Tuki Tuki Valley. The soil type and climate of each site have contributed particular characters to the final wine.

2023 was a tricky season to navigate in Hawke's Bay with frequent summer rain however Chardonnay came to the fore and with careful vineyard management and free draining soils, the resulting wines express fruit intensity and palate definition.

Once pressed the juice was run to a mix of stainless steel tank and oak barrels for fermentation. Yeast was chosen to highlight the complexity and richness of Hawke's Bay Chardonnay. After primary fermentation was complete, full malolactic fermentation took place to add weight to the palate and the wine was left maturing on lees with frequent stirring for 9 months before preparation for bottling.

Sensitive winemaking has allowed site and season to be reflected, supporting the complex and elegant style of wine.

Food Pairing: Fish, shellfish, poultry and fresh seasonal salads.

Heartbreaking and beautiful
Format: Kindle
This book reads like living. I was able to be Sybil, not just observe her. I found the experience of reading her story authentic and cathartic in a way. At the middle of my life it provoked a sense that’s there can be goodness and purpose in aging.

Beautifully written and unique conversational format
Format: Hardcover
This was a great read—sad, but very well done. I really enjoyed the conversational format, since I’ve never read a book told in quite that way before. It felt fresh and different, and the writing was excellent. Overall, it was a very engaging and memorable book.
