Five stars & 93 Points - Sam Kim, Wine Orbit 
"Gorgeously fruited and richly expressed, the bouquet shows grilled peach, mango, vanillin oak and brioche characters. It's equally satisfying on the palate offering excellent weight and persistency combined with creamy mouthfeel and velvety texture. Delectably appealing."

Coopers creek Select Vineyards Charonnay. From the fabulous 2020 vintage in Hawke's Bay.

Winemakers Notes
"Our 2020 Plainsman SV Chardonnay is an 80:20 blend from Apatu Farms Vineyard and our very own Middle Road Vineyard. 2020 was a stunning year in Hawkes Bay and we were delighted to be able to harvest this fruit in beautiful condition. Post pressing and settling, the juice was run off to one-year old and seasoned barrels for fermentation and MLF. Post MLF, the wine was matured in oak, on full lees, until January 2021." A subtle, creamy-textured wine, it has very good depth of ripe, peachy, slightly leesy flavours, considerable complexity, balanced acidity and lots of drink-young charm.

Great buying on this super satisfying buttery premium Hawkes Bay Chardonnay.
