Awards, Ratings & Reviews
93/100 — Cameron Douglas MS · 2022 Vintage, Tasted: Jan 2024
“A wine with a silken texture and flavours of pear and apple, baking spice and white peach, some grapefruit peel and fine sandy soil mineral flavours. Medium- to near full-bodied with fine wood and fruit tannins, medium+ (ish) acid line and a Brazil-nut butter highlight. Balanced, well made and ready to drink from day of purchase through 2027. The acid line and citrus highlights along with a developing mineral and piquant frame are key highlights remaining persistent as the wine opens out in glass.”
92/100 — Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy · 2022 Vintage, Tasted: Dec 2023
About This Wine
Fruit for this wine is sourced from Bannockburn in Central Otago. The 2022 season was described as a very warm year with clean, healthy fruit and a long cool ripening period.
The Chardonnay was harvested in two tranches, with fruit whole-bunch pressed directly to barrel. Fermentation proceeded with indigenous yeast, with the wine remaining unstirred until malolactic fermentation in spring, followed by weekly stirring.
The wine was matured in barrel for 11 months, including maturation in oak puncheons, before bottling in late March 2023.
About the Winery
The vineyard is grown by James Dicey, with winemaking and cellar work overseen by Matt Dicey.
