Chardonnay
Its Origins
Tony Bish is a legend of New Zealand winemaking who spent decades making such iconic wines as Sacred Hill's Rifleman's Chardonnay. Now he is channeling his Chardonnay expertise into his own labels, which he produces in a stylish urban winery he has set up in Napier. Much of his wine is aimed at delivering classy examples of the the rich and creamy, 'old school' style of Chardonnay. But Tony's incredible touch and experience ensures that each wine is balanced and refined — even with all their big, bold appeal. Meanwhile, Tony's ongoing experimentation in style and technique is producing results such as his deliciously un-oaked "Golden Egg" Chardonnay, and his super premium "Zen" Chardonnay, which is made in an incredible egg-shaped oak vessel.
What The Critics Say
95/100 Cameron Douglas MS
"A fascinating and complex wine with a bouquet that is slow at first to open up then suddenly a rush of aromas that embrace ripe white fleshed fruits, sweet grapefruit, and gentle mineral complexities. A poised and youthful wine touches the palate, first reflecting flavours from the bouquet then showcasing a mineral and sense of place layer. Persistent, taut and textured remains the theme with core flavours from fruits, lees and a fine chalky mouthfeel. Well made, complex and ready to drink from early 2025 through 2030."
