Gold medal- Royal New Zealand Easter Show
Entrancing aromas of apple blossom and lime combine in a potpourri of deep, heady tropical scents before a full and fleshy entry to the palate. A graceful minerality entwines with notes of apricot, mandarine, lime & lemon, endowing the wine with an elegant silken texture and sublime palate presence.

Gold Medal- Easter Show Wine Awards
A barrique fermented style Chardonnay of fruit grown on the stony plains of Marlborough.

 The wine is vibrant and juicy with excellent ripe varietal tastes and crisp refreshing acidity on the finish.

California was not taken seriously in the wineworld until in the 1970s. It was then that the Chardonnay from the US won several international and French awards. It was the US that made it possible for other new world wine producers to break in to markets previously impossible. New Zealand owes a lot to the American Chardonnay producers.
