Grown in the Ohiti valley in western Hawke\u2019s Bay \u2013 the company have supplied fruit to several top local producers over the years, and are now aiming to \u2018be responsible for Hawke\u2019s Bay\u2019s best Chardonnay\u2019. This is their entry-level bottling – tasted on-site in a visit this year. A bright straw yellow colour in the glass, with a tinge of green. Bold – let\u2019s call it \u2018old school\u2019 aromas of ripe stonefruit, citrus, cardamom, sliced fennel and honeysuckle. Rich and full-bodied with plenty of weight and texture through the middle. The toast of french oak wraps around the fruit, with nuts and breadcrumb notes sliding through into a robust and sweetening finish. In \u2018a style\u2019 that will find its fans. Drink now. 90pts<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
