Sourced from four vineyards at the western end of Waiheke Island, this Chardonnay has an attractive nose of lemon curd, dried apricot and a touch of pear drop. Good definition and very pretty. The palate is quite oaky on the entry, but there is good fruit concentration underneath, nice acidity with a lovely vanillin finish.
