"Bold yet elegant flagship Chardonnay with grapefruit, tree fruit, citrus, struck flint, ginger and toasted nut flavours. A bright, fresh wine with a backbone of lively acidity. Good now but with a promising future" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, May 2020

This distinguished single vineyard Chardonnay exudes presence and finesse. The palate is wonderfully mouth-filling and creamy, with intense peach and apricot flavours in harmony with fine French oak seasoning, leading to a satisfyingly long soft and spicy finish. Instantly appealing, enjoy now or allow to age gracefully with careful cellaring.

2017 was an excellent vintage in Hawkes Bay, allowing the fruit to be picked unhurried at optimal ripeness. The grapes for this superior Chardonnay were sourced from Mills Reef's ultra-premium vineyard site at Mere Road Vineyard. The fruit was handpicked on 23rd and 24th March 2017, whole-bunch pressed and transferred to barrel for alcoholic fermentation with specially selected yeasts to optimise the Chardonnay flavour profile while adding interest and depth.

Approximately 29% of the wine was put through malolactic fermentation to bring enhanced and softened texture. Both the MLF and the non-malo portions were blended, and aged in quality 100% French oak (34% new) for 10 months sur lie, with frequent stirring to release important flavour components. Stringent barrel selection followed in February 2018 to compose the final wine, before bottling under screwcap on 19 March 2018.

Elspeth represents the top tier of wines produced from the Mills Reef vineyards in the Gimblett Gravels, Hawkes Bay. The fruit is hand-picked and only under the Elspeth label when fruit is of exceptional quality. The winemaking team share the philosophy of a hands-on, no expense spared approach to produce these fine award winning wines. The range is limited to chardonnay, Syrah and Bordeaux style reds.

smooth and great quality matcha
Size: 1.4 Ounce (Pack of 1), Size: 1.4 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I was surprised by how fresh and vibrant this matcha is! The color is a beautiful bright green, and it blends really smoothly — no clumps at all. The flavor is rich but not very bitter, perfectly match with coconut water. I’ve been using it for lattes and coconut water, and it tastes amazing either way. You can really tell it’s high-quality matcha. Definitely will repurchase once I finish this bottle!

Great Matcha for Price! 🍵
Size: 1.4 Ounce (Pack of 1), Size: 1.4 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I was hesitant at first because the price seemed too good to be true, but this turned out to be amazing for the cost! It’s not the brightest “ceremonial first harvest” matcha I’ve tried, but it’s also not dull or too yellow tinted. The taste and aroma are both nice, and it works perfectly in lattes or on its own. It whisks up silky smooth. You get a great amount for the price too, some brands charge $20+ for a similar amount and quality. Overall, an amazing affordable find for matcha lovers!

Deceptive advertising - NOT 100 servings
Size: 1.4 Ounce (Pack of 1), Size: 1.4 Ounce (Pack of 1)
The bag shows 100 servings per container, which is one of the reasons I bought it, but it’s more like 30 servings. The bag shows serving size 1 scoop approximately 1g but the directions says “sift 1.5 tsp” but the scoop included in the bag is 1/2 tsp (it would take 3 scoops to equal 1.5 tsp). The taste is a little off, not as smooth as other brands I’ve tried.
