I’m not usually one to be a Chardonnay advocate but this one was a solid choice to pair with an overconsumption of pork dumplings. Not too buttery, teak wood, silky suede. — 7 years ago

Serious with weight, complexity, and power. Very reductive funky nose. The palate attack starts with high acid and citrus/mandarin, then moves into an incredible mid palate - round, creamy, with pure citrus and peach fruit giving vibrancy. Long, balanced, and multi-layered. Top 3 of all time with Daguenau, and Cotat. Expensive for a NZ S/B but incredible value given the quality. — 5 months ago

vintage 2014 | Fine spices in smell, leather, vanilla, and a taste that became velvety after aeration. Very satisfying. Paired with lambsticks on the bbq day 1 and zucchini pasta on day 2. — 3 months ago

Drank in the beginning of the year. Missed out on adding my notes here. Best bottle of the lot I brought back to Malaysia. So dense. Like the rows in the vineyard, the finish is long and lined with chalk. The herbal elements in this wine just takes me back to days in the vineyard. Emotional really, especially in times like this. Hope to be back in Abtserde next year. — 6 years ago

Brilliant straw-yellow. Fresh citrus and orchard fruit aromas, along with hints of toasty lees and honeysuckle. Chewy and focused on the palate, offering juicy pear and Meyer lemon flavors that slowly deepen through the midpalate. Finishes long and floral, with a lingering hint of spiciness.
