"Rich, mellow and appealingly creamy chardonnay with a smooth, rich texture and peach, toast, cashew nut, ginger and spicy oak flavours. An attractive wine from a successful vintage. Good value at this price ($22)" Bob Campbell MW

"Our 2020 Plainsman SV Chardonnay is an 80:20 blend from Apatu Farms Vineyard and our very own Middle Road Vineyard. 2020 was a stunning year in Hawkes Bay and we were delighted to be able to harvest this fruit in beautiful condition. Post pressing and settling, the juice was run off to one-year old and seasoned barrels for fermentation and MLF. Post MLF, the wine was matured in oak, on full lees, until January 2021." Winery
