Limited New Release Pricing - 48 Hours Only

16.5/20 Points - Raymond Chan
"Dry to taste and light-bodied, soft and gentle flavours of citrus fruits are carried by a palate with a harmonious and vinous mouthfeel. The fruit is balanced with light butterscotch creamy hints and fresh acidity. Soft, grainy textures and nutty oak emerge, providing the initial linearity, and this fades to a clean, dry finish. This is a clean, light, citrussy Chardonnay with a butterscotch underlay" Raymond Chan

For those of you that love a full, rich chardonnay, this will not disappoint. A wine that displays slightly oaked characters with overtures of buttery vanilla and ripe grapefruit. A beautifully balanced single vineyard wine which offers outstanding value for money. Enjoy!

Buttery flavours, sharp acid finish, I'm no Chardonnay expert but this seemed to tick the boxes. No complaints at this price.

Gold Medal Reviewer - Top 10 ranked wine reviewer!

Speedster - Has completed 6 first reviews!

Definitely good value for money with this one! We felt it was similar in quality to the $20 West Brook (although the WB is a bit more complex). This one has moderate oakiness that is just verging on buttery tones - let this one sit for a couple years and these should really develop. Good drinking now as well. Medium gold in color, oak and citrus on the nose, oak/vanilla/butter tones on the palate. Definitely full-bodied. Crisp refreshing finish. We had with roasted chicken and it was lovely. I've got another bottle we'll let sit for a bit to see where those buttery notes go.

(25/02/13) By: Charles T
This review is for the 2012 vintage which I bought & drank in March 2013 - many of the other reviews seem to be for previous vintages. The is a simple Chardonnay, crisp and clean with no obvious faults. I picked up little of the buttery flavours mentioned by others for previous vintages and despite the 5 Oaks name, I would guess this has seen little or no oak. It is refreshing to drink on its own or with chicken/fish etc and should appeal to people who usually drink savvy. I would not buy it again since I prefer an oaked Chardonnay but this is good value and much better than many of the $10 supermarket wines.

Almost four stars. Nice wine. I'm used to oakier Chardonnay, but I imagine that this would have quite a broad appeal. Would buy again.

I'm a big fan of the Five Oaks range, especially the pinot noir. Nice golden colour. Fairly buttery, not too sweet with a fairly strong finish for a Chardonnay. Overally not my favourite of all time (Westbrook...) but good buying at winesale's price.

Mansion House (Marlborough) 2016 Chardonnay
Return Trips (?) : 5 Repeat Purchases

4.5 Stars - "A beautifully rounded chardonnay, the fragrant bouquet shows nectarine, ripe citrus and cream with a touch of vanilla complexity. It is succulent and refreshing on the palate, and offers lovely mid palate weight and silky texture. Excellent balance and harmony. At its best: now to 2018." Sam Kim
Mid-straw colour. Lifted peach, passionfruit and nectarine fruit flavours, with the oak adding subtle toast and spice. A medium bodied wine with a soft, generous texture to support the vibrant fruit and oak flavours. These persist on the long, clean acid finish.

"Refreshing, ripe fruit flavours which err towards the tropical fruit spectrum such as pineapple and notes of mango as well as grapefruit adding zesty balance and crispness with moderate acidity providing a lingering finish. Good quality and very good value for money" - Joelle Thomson

A chardonnay with a lightweight price and heavyweight qualities! Yes, this wine punches well above its' weight! Our new Chilean supplier has a reputation for outstanding value for money and when you try this and others from the Chingol range you will see why! Lovely full fruit with hints of butterscotch.
