Reviews

review Bilancia Trelinnoe Chardonnay 2021Bob Campbell, MW (The Real Review): 96/100. Taut, pure chardonnay with flavours of lemon curd, grapefruit and mineral - like licking marble. Impressive purity and subtle power. The wine has a seductive, ethereal quality that is difficult to describe but easy to appreciate. Should develop well with bottle age. Ageing: now to 2030.

 

review Bilancia Trelinnoe Chardonnay 2021James Suckling (JamesSuckling.com): 95/100. Very complex with nougat, brioche, cooked apple, and white peach aromas and flavors. Full yet fresh. Layers of fruit and toasted oak character. Long, long finish. Terrific white. Drink or hold.

 

Tasting Note:

Ripe, full fruit (peach, apple, citrus) with complexity perfectly balances with the oak. A fresh and elegant Chardonnay, moderately tight and restrained in its youth but with time it will open up to a rich, food friendly wine.

Additional information

Type: White wine

Varietal: Chardonnay

Vineyard: Trelinnoe (tree-lin-o) Vineyard on Roys Hill in Hawke's Bay named for the owner’s historical ties to Cornwall. The Roys Hill hillside terraces are sandstone over limestone.

Vintage: Cameron Douglas, MS was delighted with the calibre of the wines from the 2021 vintage from Hawke's Bay: "I’m just going to say it: New Zealand and Hawke’s Bay in particular make some of the best Chardonnay in the world, in fact it’s better than many white Burgundies, more accessible, more affordable, and more consistent."

Winemaking: 2021 was yet another in a run of great Hawke’s Bay vintages. The fruit was 100% hand-picked, then whole bunch pressed to French oak barriques for fermentation. As with all of our Chardonnays, the Trelinnoe Chardonnay was fermented with indigenous yeast. The wine spent 11 months in oak prior to bottling; there was no fining or cold stabilisation. There are no additives other than sulphur

Label design: The front label is a stylised representation of the aerial view of the vineyard.
