One of the most impressive New Zealand Chardonnays around, grown on limestone slopes on New Zealand's south island, this has tons of concentration and a core of bright, zingy lemon fruit. Around that is softer stone fruit character with light nutty flavours. Pure, textural and fresh.
Golden straw colour with a bright Meyer lemon hue. Aromas feel slightly sunnier than its compatriot, with nectarine and buttercup sitting amongst the mandarin, ripe lemon and fresh cashew nut. Immediately open and concentrated on the palate, grilled stonefruit, lemons, marscapone, flowering thyme, oatmeal biscuit and distinctive grilled cashew nut; richness is ever present then becomes confined by the feel of limestone chalkiness and salt.
I have enjoyed these wines very much - in particular I liked the Belle Vignes which was rich and very flavoursome
The Cabra Cega was a particularly easy drinking quaffing wine.
Still have another 2 bottles left to sample

Great
Great selection, great taste, great value, fast delivery
Quality is consistent. Deeper bouquet and flavor than most Cali Zins. The Earth tones come thru beautifully about two years from Vintage. Wonderful
Red to contemplate on its own or with good food.
