Reviews
Cameron Douglas MS: 96/100 & Top Wines Tasted 2023. Complexity is immediate with scents of grapefruit and white peach, crushed stone minerality, gun flint, lees and a gentle reductive persona. As the wine opens up in glass the scents of fruit then spice, mineral and complexity become louder. Dry, delicious, expressive textures and taut youthful textures touch the palate first. Flavours of white fleshed stone fruits, lees spice and texture and citrus then mineral touch. A delicious wine with best drinking from late 2023 through 2029.
Sam Kim, Wine Orbit: 96/100. Exquisitely elegant and refined, the wine shows lemon pith, oatmeal, white floral and wet limestone nuances on the nose, followed by a brilliantly focused palate offering seamless flow and linear mouthfeel. Poised, impeccably balanced and structured with a sustained sophisticated finish. At its best: now to 2034.
Tasting Note:
A fragrant aroma of grapefruit, orange peel, tropical notes, and subtle nutty nuances. The Golden Egg is silken on entry with a sublime flow through the palate. There are flavours of ripe stone fruit, citrus rind and white peach. The finish is incredibly long with an aftertaste of lemon minerality.

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. There is an element of minerality imparted through the winemaking process in concrete eggs that is usually apparent on the finish. Minimally handled through to bottling.
