Vintage 2018 was very challenging in Hawkes Bay. This wine is testament to the extraordinary skills of our vineyard staff. 
 
This vineyard always has a bit of colour. Pale gold in the glass at bottling, but will slowly deepen with time. A profound bouquet! A melange of vanilla, cream, sweet lemon, grapefruit, hazelnut, and subtle oak. This is a big, rich Chardonnay. It has weight, sweet fruit, beautiful texture and length. Powerful!
