"Weighty chardonnay with ginger, savoury/toasted nut, apple, and citrus flavours. Crisp, dry wine with a lingering finish. Accessible wine that is drinking well now. Good food wine, well made with a good balance" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Feb 2024

This classically styled Hawke's Bay Chardonnay displays aromas of sweet lemon, nectarine and grilled nuts. Subtle hints of butter and smoky oak add complexity and layers of flavour. The palate is linear and refreshing with the riper fruit notes supported by juicy acidity.

This wine was made with a blend of fruit from our Keltern vineyard in Maraekakaho and Phoenix vineyard in the Tuki Tuki Valley. The soil type and climate of each site have contributed particular characters to the final wine.

2023 was a tricky season to navigate in Hawke's Bay with frequent summer rain however Chardonnay came to the fore and with careful vineyard management and free draining soils, the resulting wines express fruit intensity and palate definition.

Once pressed the juice was run to a mix of stainless steel tank and oak barrels for fermentation. Yeast was chosen to highlight the complexity and richness of Hawke's Bay Chardonnay. After primary fermentation was complete, full malolactic fermentation took place to add weight to the palate and the wine was left maturing on lees with frequent stirring for 9 months before preparation for bottling.

Sensitive winemaking has allowed site and season to be reflected, supporting the complex and elegant style of wine.

Food Pairing: Fish, shellfish, poultry and fresh seasonal salads.

Matte and definitely worth purchasing
Love it. It’s definitely matte, but doesn’t dry me out. I put it on with a light moisturizer, and have no issues with pilling. It feels more like a light oil when applying, but that feeling goes away in seconds. I like that it’s also water resistant. I get oily really easily, so I’ve been looking for an affordable matte sunscreen, and this seems to be working really well for me. There’s a sunscreen smell on application, but it’s not too overwhelming and goes away quickly. Overall, 10/10 would definitely recommend, and kinda wish I could gatekeep it.

Best sunscreen ever
Best sunscreen! Extremely smooth, it leaves your skin completely matte. It does not feel like sunscreen, it feels like a high end primer. It’s a gel not even a cream. I use it as my primer, since I have to put sunscreen on anyway, it serves as my primer before make up. I’ve always struggled with finding a decent sunscreen for my face that leaves no cast or hurts my eyes but this one is the best one I’ve ever tried. Matte, smooth, gel, does not hurt eyes, primer for make up. Amazing! And great value for the money.

Feels very oily right after applying
Ok, NON SPONSORED review. I bought this with my own money. It’s a great sunscreen, very lightweight and goes on clear. The only downside is, right after applying it feels like straight cooking oil on your skin. It’s a horrible, horrible sensory experience. But once you give it a couple minutes to dry down, it’s completely matte and feels like nothing. It hasn’t broken me out yet like other sunscreens I’ve tried, so that’s a plus.

Works great under makeup
Excellent for the face! Many sunscreens claim they are good for the face, and blend well. This one actually DOES!! It is also an excellent moisturizer under your makeup without streaking. Just a smooth, beautiful finish. I wear it all year around The sun is just as strong and quite capable of ruining your skin in the winter as well.

Not amazing, but not the worst.
I hate sunscreen and to varying degrees chemical or mineral sunscreens. This was promised as grease free and smooth, but it comes out watery and does feel greasy, but once applied on the skin it does feel smooth. UPDATE: I got a suntan after slathering this on my face. I would say this lasts about an hour and a half. The suntan happened 15 minutes before the two hour "clock" was up. Disappointing. Back to mineral sunscreen.
