Thomas Estate Chardonnay 2024

Summer on Waiheke in 2024 was a hot and dry, and this wine reflects the island’s signature style. The use of French oak imparts a beautiful texture on the palate, while bright acidity balances the flavour components. Enjoy it with fresh seafood, or savour it perfectly on its own.

Review by Sam Kim - Wine Orbit

5 Stars | 95pts "Gorgeously styled and expressed, the bouquet presents aromas of white-fleshed stone fruit, fig, nougat, and hazelnut. It's weighty and creamy in the mouth, delivering layers of complex flavours, backed by bright acidity, finishing wonderfully long and satisfying."

Review by Cameron Douglas - Master Sommelier

Excellent | 93pts "A bold and richly textured wine featuring a vibrant core of stone fruit and crisp pear, framed by layers of oak and a long, sophisticated finish. An excellent weight and intensity, length and style. Best drinking from day of purchase through 2030+." Read the full review here.

4 Stars | 92pts "This Thomas Estate Chardonnay is crafted in a classic, clean style, offering subtle aromas of mixed apples, white peach, and citrus pith. The medium-weight palate delivers a bright, dry finish, enriched by hints of almond biscotti and a refreshing core of natural fruit acidity."
