"Overshadowed by its famous stablemate ( Neudorf Moutere Chardonnay ), this regional blend is a fne Chardonnay in its own right. Grown at Upper Moutere ( mostly ), but also at Kina, on the coast, and at Brightwater on the Waimea Plains, it is fermented with indigenous yeasts in French oak casks, and given a full, softeneing malolatic fermentation. The 2010 is rich and very vibrant. Youthful, with a distinct hint of butterscotch it is a crisp, peachy and slightly spicy, with finely balanced oak, good acid drive and invitingly fragrant bouquet. 4 ½ Stars M.Cooper"
