"A simple, easy wine with a zesty hint of ripe tropical and citrus fruit and a pleasant finish."

- Charmian Smith, Otago Daily Times

"GOOD BUY OF THE WEEK: Haymaker Gisborne Chardonnay 08 - Medium-bodied, balanced, drinker-friendly wine, with melon and grapefruit aromas and flavours plus a whiff of toffee. Forward, for current dringing, but will be fine next year too. $17." - Graeme Barrow.

Subtle nutty aromas lead to decent fruit flavours with good oak integration and a slightly oily texture. Easy drinking wine that should open out a little more with time.
