2011 Greywacke Chardonnay Marlborough

A spunky chardonnay. There's seductive flinty complexity on the nose, surrounding bright citrus and nectarine fruits, spicy oak and a raw, chalky edge. The palate has folds of beautifully ripe fruit all coiled close. It delivers length and power with an air of classy elegance. Toasted-hazelnut finish. Magic stuff. Drink now.

Richly complex and richly rewarding, this engaging chardonnay shows wonderful aromas of stone fruit, citrus, brioche and subtle vanillin oak...weighty, expansive and silky, and finishes superbly long and harmonious.

Arguably the best Chardonnay he's made yet at his new venture, a minerally, citrus-tinged white with deftly interwoven oak and flavours of oatmeal and honey. Very classy.

Classy, complex and elegant Chardonnay with peach, nectarine and mineral flavours plus a smoky, nutty and a struck match/funky character from winemaking influence. Seamless and quite powerful wine with character and style.

The 2011 Chardonnay is redolent of apricots, pineapple and toast, with attractive hints of struck match, cashews and cedar. Full, flavorsome and voluptuous in the mouth, there's a wonderful creaminess to the texture complimented by rich, apricot and nut flavors before it finishes with great length. Drink it now to 2017+.

This is a moderately rich Chardonnay loaded with hints of pineapple, white peaches and roasted cashews. It's round in the mouth, delivering ample weight and complexity, yet finishes long with fresh citrusy acids.

Distinctive and complex, with a mix of candied orange peel, buttered popcorn, fig, lemon meringue and apricot flavors. Smooth and succulent, presenting a long, juicy finish. Drink now through 2025.-M.W
