Last bottle. Rated by Cameron Douglas MS amongst his Top Wines of New Zealand 2021. The exceptional vintner Tony Bish uses, fitting for the wines name, egg-shaped, golden-coloured concrete tanks. Egg shaped fermenters keep yeast lees in suspension through the naturally occurring convection currents unique to the egg shape. The purity of the fruit is preserved, texture and body is added.

Reviews
Cameron Douglas MS: 95/100 & Top Wines of New Zealand 2021. Intriguing and complex, fine lees and pure fruit aromas lead to flavours of the same on the palate. A core of grapefruit and peach, lees and gun-flinty mineral laden soil flavours. Fine fruit tannins and delicate mealy seamless mouthfeel. A fantastic expression that doesn’t need oak to show its purity and innocence. Best drinking from 2022 through 2028+.
Sam Kim, Wine Orbit: 95/100. Exquisitely refined and elegantly complex, the wine shows apricot, grapefruit, oatmealand cashew notes on the nose, leading to a concentrated palate displaying outstanding depth and focus. It's seamlessly flowing, backed by bright acidity, finishing impressively long and textured. At its best: 2022 to 2030.
Decanter: 95/100
Tasting Note:
Lifted aromas with grapefruit, stone fruit, oatmeal, and cashew nut. Unfolds with hints of citrus zest, seashell minerals and a creamy underlay. The palate is concentrated with great depth and creamy textural richness. Great length with lacy acidity and a hint of chalky tannins on the finish.

Winemaking: Hand-picked Hawke’s Bay Mendoza Chardonnay was whole bunch pressed, with only free run juice progressing to ferment in two concrete egg fermenters. Egg shaped fermenters keep yeast lees in suspension through the naturally occurring convection currents unique to the egg shape. The eggshape also enlarges the contact area of the yeast. The 7cm thick concrete shell effectively stores heat, which is then released during malo-lactic fermentation and aging. Minimally handled through to bottling.
