Marlborough doesn’t solely belong to Sauvignon Blanc, and this Chard is here to prove it. Expansive and palate coating, it tastes of poached pear, ripe yellow apple, brioche, and toasted macadamia. Rich and the spiritual opposite of the same region’s entry SBs.

Citrus and grassy, herbaceous aromas fill the nose followed by decent structure on the palate. A nice representation of NZ SB

Kevin Judd can make wine. Chardonnay with hints of smoke and flint. Great expression of Marlborough Chardonnay.

Summers in Japan are super hot and humid, and everyone flocks to the beach for relief. I'd flock to this light delight on the beach in a heartbeat: like a Cloudy Bay mist.

Classic NZ, showing a bit of vegetable restraint in this case.

Impressive. Incredibly smoky and reductive on the nose. Gun smoke character follows on the palate, followed by creamy citrus and slate. Strong buy
