Why I chose it:

- Difficult vintage (Cyclone Gabrielle)

- Be guided by vintage ratings but be aware that there are many exceptions

- Sorting machine takes a photo of every grape and rejects sub-standard fruit.



What does it taste like?

A rich and flavoursome chardonnay that will be appreciated by fans of the “big and buttery” style. Slightly toffee-ish, mouth-filling wine with enough richness and flavour to handle a mild butter chicken curry.

Why it’s a bargain:

I’d buy it if it was $40



Where can you buy it?

Wine Collective Direct $33.31. Paritua Winery, Hawke’s Bay $25



Food match?

Roast chicken, most seafood



Will it keep? 

Drink up
