Read the retailer’s description
The description below is the retailer’s own wording.
2023 was a tricky vintage, resulting in 30% lower yields than in 2022. They suffered from some downy mildew and also cyclone Gabrielle, so it was undoubtedly challenging. This wine is made from 88% Rays Road fruit (Hawke’s Bay), so it has a steelier limestone edge, and the fruit is distinctly lemony and creamy. Drinking now and fairly simple, this is a hint of fresh herbs and mint, but other than that, it is a textbook, silky citrus-soaked Chardonnay with a kiss of acidity, and it is not one for the cellar.
