Stonehaven Limited Vineyard Release Chardonnay 2025

Elegantly complex and fragrant, the bouquet shows ripe peach, grapefruit, vanilla, and roasted nut aromas with a hint of flinty overtone. It’s finely expressed on the palate, offering excellent persistence and structure. Wonderfully harmonious and beautifully proportioned with a lengthy, refined finish. At its best: 2026 to 2032. Score – 93. (Sam Kim, wineorbit.co.nz, May 2025)
