Chardonnay Te Mata Elston 2009

Te Mata Comments

"Woodthorpe is an expansive single vineyard on elevated river terraces, angled to the sun,  located in Hawkes Bay’s Tutaekuri river valley. Originally a colonial settlement, militia encampment,  and staging post, it was between 1863 and 1914 home to the annual Woodthorpe races. Today it’s ideal  aspect and free-draining soils provide Te Mata Estate a unique location for quality grapes. Greatest white wine buys. Rich, dense but refined.- Jancis Robinson, Financial Times, 2009"
