Pepper and earthy, ripe red fruits - addictive

Really good - I get almost a vanilla note (which they call toasted brioche)

Solid performance!

This is a golden globe in my glass 😂 This Hawke's Bay Chardonnay is great value for money for under $20.

There is decent fruit with lemon and a bit of lime rind. Malolactic fermentation gives it a decent mouthfeel and acidity keeps it interesting. Good job Church Road!

Very reasonable Chardonnay, balance of oak and citrus, not very exciting
