Akarua Central Otago Chardonnay 2024
Best buy & Top 10 at the recent Cuisine magazine Chardonnay tasting.
"This wine is what is sometimes described as a ‘fruit and oak’-style chardonnay, but exceptionally made and done with panache. The wine is well weighted with sweet fruit on the nose and palate and bold oak perfectly balanced with a light yet taut acid structure. Superb." Cuisine
"An attractive bouquet and palate with enticing scents and flavours of white peach and nectarine, red apple and white fruit spices enhanced by French oak and a pristine acid line. Dry, lots of texture from fruit and some wood tannins, plenty of acidity coating the palate with fruit flavours and spice. Well made, balanced and ready to drink from early 2026 through 2030+." 93/100 Cameron Douglas MS
