Linda Mertes WSET 2 rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

A varietal Chardonnay from Marlborough, New Zealand, this light-bodied wine has citrus and stone fruit aromas. The dry finish has some notes of yeast and candied fruit. With the lighter acidity, pair with lighter foods like poultry or creamy pastas.

Carolyn Hetke rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

This is a light-bodied Chardonnay with a soft, round mouthfeel. Unfortunately some of its charms are lost to the pronounced oak that dominates the nose and palate. This would make an easy sipper on its own or serve with chicken flatbread. Tasted February 2020. www.thewineloverskitchen.com

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
