| "A crowd-pleaser for sure. This wine is full of the stuff Americans seem to love: butter, toast, ripe pears and pineapples. It’s full and oaky. There’s even some citrus-like acidity on the finish to cut through the sweet flavors." -WE |

"The 1999 growing season in Marlborough was warmer than average, with the Chardonnay harvest beginning on the 24th of March. A large incidence of 'hen and chicken' occurred in the bunches resulting from unsettled weather during flowering. This yields a large proportion of small berries with intense flavours. Fruit from our own Renwick Estate Vineyard has been blended with grapes grown on the vineyards of Aitken, and Chaytor. These sites are all very stony and free draining, giving naturally low yields (2.5-4 tonnes/acre) and fantastic depth of flavour. We are aiming to produce a rich, textured wine with concentrated fruit flavour, oak complexity and with the ability to age gracefully. "
