Passage Rock Reserve Waiheke Island Chardonnay (2018) Michael Cooper 4.5 stars
Bright yellow/pale gold, the 2018 vintage (4.5*) was hand-harvested and fermented and matured in large French oak casks. Fresh and mouthfilling, it has strong, ripe stone-fruit and toasty oak flavours, showing very good complexity. Already very expressive, it’s a drink-now or cellaring proposition.

Full-flavoured chardonnay with lemon curd, peach, biscuit and spicy oak flavours. Fine tannins give the wine a suede-like texture. Bright acidity adds energy and helps to drive a lengthy finish.
