"Gorgeously refined and elegantly expressed, the wine shows white flesh peach, fig, lemon peel, almond meal and nougat characters on the nose. The palate displays excellent weight and creamy flow, wonderfully framed by fleshy texture and finely infused acidity, finishing superbly long and stylish. At its best: now to 2033" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

"Bright, even, pale straw yellow. The nose is gently full, with aromas of citrus, apple, peach, cashew, yoghurt, vanilla and subtle spice. Medium-bodied, aromas of lemon and grapefruit melded with apple, peach, unfolding a hint of yoghurt, fine spice and cashew. The wine has youthful fruit and good energy, supported by fresh yet soft acidity. Subtle spice and a lightly creamy mouthfeel contribute complexity. This young Chardonnay is well-made with a citrus core, delicate details and a sleek line" Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Wine Reviews

"A very attractive bouquet of fresh white peach and apple, some grapefruit then gentle spices from barrel, a whisper of lees complexity and white earth mineral quality. A lovely satin touch on the palate with a backbone of acidity, fine fruit and wood spice flavours, white fleshed fruit and some barrel smoke and vanilla. Tannins are super fine adding mouthfeel and length. A balanced and well made wine with ageing, development and cellar time ahead if required. Best drinking from mid to late 2025 through 2030" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier

"Smooth silky textured Chardonnay underpinned by crisp acidity and deep lemon aromas which lead into a fleshy, full bodied wine with great balance. This lovely Central Otago Chardonnay is made with hand picked grapes grown on the Highgrange Vineyard, which is situated at 336 to 352 metres above sea level in Pisa, Central Otago. The wine spent nine and a half months in   French oak, five per cent of which was new. Rounded" Joelle Thomson

This concentrated, bright and citrus-laden Chardonnay showcases the advantages of growing grapes at elevation in a warmer season. There is a delicious combination of fresh citrus, orange zest and apple on the nose, while the palate has incredible fruit purity and exquisite freshness. Each layer comes together in wonderful harmony delivering a very balanced and delicious wine.  Intensely focused and fresh in its youth, this wine should develop beautifully for 12+ years.

The 2022-2023 growing season was relatively warm overall with “normal” spring weather leading to a summer that was drier than average. Weather at flowering was warm and dry resulting in excellent yields and high quality. January was warm and dry, followed by welcome rain event in February and then a brilliant, dry and warm March. It was overall drier than 2022 but had a similar warmer feel to it.

The Chardonnay grapes came from the Highgrange Vineyard situated at 336m-352m in Pisa. The 16-year-old vines are planted with Clone 95 (60% of the wine) and Mendoza (40%); two complimentary clones that give texture and freshness to the wine. The grapes were hand-harvested on the 4th of April with each clone fermented and aged separately until blending. The grapes were whole-bunch pressed and fermented with wild yeasts on full solids which adds both richness and complexity to the wine. A 75% malolactic fermentation contributes to the rich mouth-feel while minimal stirring helps retain freshness. The wine was fermented and aged for 9.5 months in 5% new French oak from the premium Troncais forest in France; the rest in older French barriques.

Great buy
Size: 12 Wide, Color: Black Faux Leather
I absolutely love these Amazon Essentials Belice Ballet Flats! They are so comfortable right out of the box and fit my feet perfectly. I can wear them all day without my feet hurting, which is hard to find with flats sometimes. They’re also really cute and go with almost everything I wear. I find myself reaching for them all the time because they’re both comfy and pretty. Definitely a great everyday shoe, especially for the price!

Loooove these shoes!
Size: 7.5 Wide, Color: Chestnut Brown Faux Leather
I have these in several colors, and they’ve become a true staple in my wardrobe. The Amazon Essentials Women's Belice Comfortable Slip-On Ballet Flats are exactly what I look for in an everyday shoe—simple, versatile, and comfortable right out of the box. The slip-on design makes them super convenient for busy days, and they pair effortlessly with everything from jeans to dresses to work outfits. They’re lightweight but still feel supportive enough for all-day wear, and I appreciate that they don’t require a break-in period. The fit is generally true to size, and the variety of colors makes it easy to stock up and rotate depending on the outfit. Overall, these are reliable, easy-to-wear flats that offer great value for the price. Not flashy, just consistently comfortable and practical—which is exactly why I keep coming back to them.
