Description

The Church House Chardonnay shows a lovely pale golden colour that is crystal clear in the glass.  The enticing nose is fresh and elegant, blending Nectarine and Melon with well integrated butterscotch and toasty notes.  Full and rich on the palate, yet retaining elegance and freshness too. The finish is long, balanced and clean. 


This terrific wine comes from two distinct vineyard blocks on slopes widely considered the best sites in Gisborne.  The low yielding vines are dry farmed to ensure they work hard for their nutrients, resulting in complex and concentrated wines.  The grapes are partially hand-harvested, with these being fermented in barrel, and partially machine harvested, the grapes going into stainless steel for a cool ferment to dryness, with 4 months resting on their lees.  The final blend is wonderfully well integrated and balances texture and freshness effortlessly.

Palomino

The Barbadillo Palomino Castillo de San Diego is crisp, fresh and unfortified!  This dry, refreshing white is a great example of the Sherry regions principle grape variety.  The wine is perfect spring/summer quaffing and a great stepping stone to appreciating the more complex, fortified and solera aged versions from DO Jerez.

2022 Scheid District 7 Chardonnay, Monterey, California

Chardonnay

Superb value, the Scheid District 7 Chardonnay comes from a vineyard at Greenfeld where the morning fog lingers to protect the vines from the heat of the sun. The aromas are fresh and extroverted with notes of yellow apple, pear and citrus, enhanced by hints of coconut, vanilla and toasty oak. The medium-bodied palate is soft and balanced with bright fruit, hints of butter and a lingering subtle oak finish.

2020 Tokara Reserve Chardonnay, Stellenbosch

Chardonnay

The Tokara Reserve Chardonnay has aromas of lemon curd, honeysuckle, oatmeal and toasted brioche which leap from the glass. There are plenty of bold, ripe yellow citrus fruit flavours initially on the palate, which lead to a creamy mid-palate with subtle vanilla, star anise and toasted almond. There is a continuous saline focus and feeling of freshness throughout. A wine of restrained power and finesse.
