2023 Single Vineyard Chardonnay, Matawhero, Gisborne

Chardonnay

The delicious Single Vineyard Chardonnay from Matawhero is unoaked but goes through full malolactic fermentation giving a rounded, nutty style of white that is full yet fresh and fruit forward.  The nose shows tantalising notes of Melon, stonefruit and butterscotch which leads to a palate of peaches and cream with a lovely nutty character on the finish.

2023 Mate’s Vineyard Chardonnay, Kumeu River

Chardonnay

The concentration and density of Mate’s Vineyard shines through in this wine even though the 2023 vintage was lighter with a moderate alcohol of 12.5%. No new oak was used in the vinification due to the lighter yields but there was a high proportion of 1 & 2 year old barrels which means the oak feel to this wine is similar to other vintages The vine age of Mate’s Vineyard, now 33 years, contributes to the inherent quality and reputation of this wine and we are confident that bottle age of up to ten years will be beneficial.

2021 Pinot Gris, Isabel Estate, Marlborough

Pinot Gris/Pinot Grigio

The Isabel Pinot Gris displays tasntalising aromas of red apple and pear, with subtle ginger spice, and stone fruit and baked apple tart on the palate. Extended lees ageing leads to a wonderfully creamy, textured body; there is a rich complexity here which will also develop nicely in bottle.
