"Seductively creamy-textured Chardonnay with tree fruit, nectarine, citrus, ginger, spicy oak and baguette crust flavours. An elegant and attractive wine" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Nov 2020
"The classy, youthful 2019 vintage (5*) was grown at 'select vineyards' and barrel-fermented. Bright, light lemon/green, it is fragrant and full-bodied, with searching, vigorous, grapefruit-like flavours, finely integrated oak, slightly smoky notes, impressive complexity and a tightly structured, long finish. Rich, refined and full of personality, it's well worth cellaring to 2023+" Michael Cooper
"Proprietor/winemaker Julianne Brogden 'in collaboration with growers of some of the finest vineyards' of the region. Unfined with minimal filtration. Greenish pale gold. Rather sumptuous on the nose with real texture and life. Pretty snazzy and already offering an enormous amount of pleasure. Exuberant. No copy of white burgundy but a self-confident expression of Hawke's Bay fruit nicely balanced by acidity" Jancis Robinson, Dec 2020
Ageworthy, elegant, rich and complex barrel fermented Chardonnay Lemon and citrus notes interwoven with fine French oak. Yeasty, creamy textured palate with a fine acid backbone.
The Kokako vineyard lies in the Ohiti Valley, uniquely positioned next to the Ngaruroro River and surrounding mountain ranges. The valley experiences very warm days and cool nighttime temperatures. This diurnal shift in temperature produces grapes with naturally high acidity and intense citrus flavours. Formerly an old riverbed the soil consists of silt loam over river gravels. Resulting wines typically show a flinty minerality, with intense citrus notes.
The Askerne vineyard is forward of both the Haumoana and Havelock North hills, close to the Te Awanga coast and Tuki Tuki river. The vineyard is classed as plains and benefits from the cooling winds in all directions resulting in wines with naturally high acidity and purity of fruit and elegance. The soil consists of clay, silt and loam. The wines show a beautiful backbone of acidity with purity of fruit typically lemon notes.
70% clone 15 chardonnay from Kokako vineyard & 30% Mendoza clone from Askerne vineyard Hand picked & chilled overnight with no SO2 Whole bunch pressed to 30% new French oak and 70% matured French oak barrels 100% spontaneous primary yeast fermentation and malo-lactic fermentation.
