96 Vinous
This 2012 Chardonnay is a more generous wine of the Giaconda style, with some reductive, flinty elements immersed in layers of nectarine, with a touch of apricot. Beautifully textural and boldly flavored, layers of oatmeal and crushed cashew drive through the lovely, silky finish of impressive length and power. Immaculately balanced, this finishes with a touch of smoke and a bit of bitter lemon.Angus Hughson23rd January 2024

Amber gold in colour, russet hints, with butterscotch and brioche on the opening notes, opulent in texture reflecting a warm vintage. It slowly and steadily evolves in the glass, gaining green apple, orange peel and saffron notes, with crisper citrus that gives the wine a savoury finish, underlined by the texture drawing in, showing the grip and the slate edge of the younger vintages. A wine that is full of personality and structure, holding your interest, in its drinking window, fully mature and showing the high quality of this site. Unfiltered and unfined, 30% new oak.Jane Anson22nd September 2024

Greenish deep straw. Quite reductive nose with some richness and spice underneath. Great tension and excitement. Spice and liquorice. Still quite chewy but with lots of structure and fruit. More chew than the Kumeu River wines tasted recently. Chalky finish. Very youthful. (JR)Jancis Robinson8th June 2015
