Intens en energiek, stijlvol en complex
Wat een magnifieke wijn is dit. Zo intens en energiek. Zo stijlvol en complex ook, met een krachtige kern van prachtig fruit, rijk gelardeerd met tonen van vuursteen, gebrande noten en specerijen.
Afkomstig van de wijngaard van Pete en Anne Reed in Central Wairau, een van de subregio's van Marlborough. De bodem biedt een mix van grind en klei en houdt voor Marlborough-begrippen het midden tussen de arme grindbodems van bijvoorbeeld Dillons Point (bron van de Holdaway Sauvignon Blanc van Blank Canvas) en de relatief rijke kleibodems van de Southern Valleys (waar de wijngaarden van Dog Point zijn gelegen).
De Reed Chardonnay wordt qua stijl vaak vergeleken met de Meursault van Coche Dury, en wie de middelen heeft moet ze maar eens naast elkaar proeven om te zien of die vergelijking hout snijdt. Reed hoort hoe dan ook thuis in de topgastronomie en daar wordt hij veelvuldig geschonken, van De Librije*** tot Hertog Jan** en van Zarzo* tot Atelier*.

"Sourced from growers Pete and Anne Reed on a vineyard that sits in central Wairau, on an elevated terrace near the confluence of the Waihopai and Wairau Rivers. The site allows for slow, even ripening and the development of fine acidity and structure – qualities that were exacerbated by the exceptional 2024 vintage, which naturally gave low yields and vibrant acidities due to low night-time temperatures. Hand picking, whole-bunch pressing, wild ferments in French oak puncheons (40% new) and oak ageing for 11 months has given an exceptionally well defined and compelling style packed full of flinty, citric, nutty, toasty, smoky flavours and a vibrant, tense finish. ‘Is this the best one we’ve made so far..?’ muses Thomson while we taste. Irrespective: it’s fabulous. And still very young – this is a wine that will age well too, given its natural vibrancy and tension."

"Powerful aromas of reduction to start with gunflint, smoke and struck match to the fore. Savoury oak adds another layer of complexity. On the palate the fruit is ripe and dense and easily offsets the reduction. But it is a fine balance, at this stage weighted towards the reduction. However the long savoury, almost meaty finish indicates that for the patient, this will develop into a very fine wine. Alcohol 13.50%. Drink from 2025-2034."

“Superbly refined with great energy and drive. Lemon curd, crushed stones, subtle spices and struck-match complexity. Tight and linear with impressive depth and tension. This is really long and precise.”

“A weighty, concentrated chardonnay with impressive complexity and a lingering, harmonious finish. Rich but beautifully balanced, showing excellent cellaring potential.”

“A concentrated, powerful chardonnay with white peach, grapefruit, spicy oak and cashew-nut flavours. Richly textured with vibrant acidity and a lengthy, refreshing finish.”

"Concentrated, fine, mineral and expressive. A powerful wine with lovely citrus intensity, layered complexity and good acidity. Such refinement here allied to power. Amazing."

“A delicious wine with a fine balance between fruit power and wine-maker inputs. Aromas of fresh white and yellow stone fruits, grapefruit peel and apple framed by delicate lees and barrel spices. Full-bodied with a satin mouthfeel, fine tannins and plenty of acidity. Will age well; best drinking 2026–2032.”
