$180 for a Six Bottle Case of Nga Waka Home Block Chardonnay 2015

"You’ve spent the week working hard to be all things to all people. Maintaining through the demands of family, friends, your workplace and those pesky SocMed platforms that’ll forget you in a click if you don’t ‘like’, ‘share’, ‘regram’, ‘retweet’ or ‘snap’ something every seven minutes. Good wine doesn’t care. It always has your back.If you’re a fan of buttery chardonnay, this brand new vintage from Martinborough’s Parkinson family will have you grinning.  With roasty, toasty, nutty notes gleaned from barrel fermentation, soft, creamy layers from the full malolactic ferment and tangy nectarine and peach flavours soaking through to the finish, it’s a ‘thinkers’ chardonnay.  I’m also certain it’ll also gain more delicious complexity and depth over the next 3-5 years. Sip with: bacon-wrapped scallops." - Yvonne Lorkin, Canvas Magazine
