94 Points Bob Campbell MW
In stock
A sophisticated Chardonnay from the lime-clay hillsides of Wairarapa. Now under the B.Wine label, this super-elegant white benefits from ideal soils and an elevated aspect to produce a weighty but refined, beautifully handled Burgundy style. With deep citrus nuanced by harmonious mineral and mealy notes, this new Chardonnay is delicious now and will be for a good few years.

Its Origins

Now under the B.Wine label, Lime Hill Vineyard began as a joint wine venture of Karl Johner of Johner Estate at Gladstone with his winemaker Raphael Burki. "Raphael and Christine Burki are Wairarapa's newest wine label and cellar door B. wine creators and owners. The Swiss-born Kiwi couple travels back and forth between New Zealand and Switzerland for vintages each year, rich with insight from both the new and old world, expressing a personal perspective of Martinborough and the Wairarapa... The wines are small in production, only available at their Martinborough cellar door, a handful of fine wine establishments and online, so make sure you pop in their cellar door if you are near. Opens Thursday to Monday 11-4 pm, address 45 Kitchener Street, Martinborough 5711." Raymond Chan Wine Reviews
