product description
Tony Bish Golden Egg Chardonnay 2023
Reviews
Cameron Douglas MS: 95/100. A fascinating and complex wine with a bouquet that is slow at first to open up then suddenly a rush of aromas that embrace ripe white fleshed fruits, sweet grapefruit, and gentle mineral complexities. A poised and youthful wine touches the palate, first reflecting flavours from the bouquet then showcasing a mineral and sense of place layer. Persistent, taut and textured remains the theme with core flavours from fruits, lees and a fine chalky mouthfeel. Well made, complex and ready to drink from early 2025 through 2030.
Tasting Note:
Pale straw with green highlights. Lifted white flower aromas with lime blossom, honeydew melon, and a flinty dry stone minerality. The palate is energetic with pink grapefruit, honeydew melon juiciness, and a silky textural flow. The finish has a saline mineral quality with fresh and textured acidity leading to a salivating palatableness.

Winemaking: Hand-picked Hawke’s Bay chardonnay from three vineyards in the Bridge Pa and Mangatahi sub- regions were whole bunch-pressed, with only free run juice progressing to ferment in two concrete egg fermenters. Egg-shaped fermenters keep yeast lees in suspension through the naturally occurring convection currents unique to the egg shape. Purity of fruit is maintained, richness and texture build, and the wine develops in a way totally different to stainless steel tanks or oak barrels. There is an element of minerality imparted through the winemaking process in concrete eggs that is usually apparent on the finish. Minimally handled through to bottling.
