Matawhero Irwin Gisborne Chardonnay 2021 $60

Kirsten and Richard Searle choose only the absolute best quality fruit to go into this, their flagship Chardonnay, a wine named after Bill and Denis Irwin, the pioneering founders of Matawhero, men who put Gisborne fine wine on the international map. The 2021 Irwin roars with nectarine and grapefruit intensity, toasty oak complexity, juicy textures, hints of butterscotch, caramelised spices and a mouthfeel that’s both beautifully balanced yet buxom and generous to finish. Outstanding.
