Dish Magazine - Top Ten Chardonnay's - 4.5 stars #8

 For the latest Dish Tasting Panel three judges blind-tasted 119 chardonnays from around the country. Of the wines entered, twenty-two were judged four stars or higher.  We were in the top ten and featured in the magazine.

Dish tastng panel comments on our wine
Sourced from a 100-acre vineyard west of Hastings in the Mangatahi Valley alongside the Ngaruroro River, the wines produced by the team at Osawa just keep getting better as the years progress and they’re now definitely one to watch from the region. Cameron Douglas MS was impressed with this “modern style of chardonnay with real interest and texture,” while Andrew Parkinson and Yvonne Lorkin both agreed that it also showed tangy fruit concentration, refreshing, cleansing texture and a long satisfying finish.

Gourmet Traveller WINE - APRIL/MAY 2013 issue

Bob Campbell chose an amazing 3 wines from our range for inclusion in the Gourmet Traveller WINE editorial feature, 100 TOP NEW RELEASES. That's 3% of all the wines selected. Quite an outstanding achievement given the breadth of choice Bob will have been given.... Wow! (not to mention he chose a Hawkes Bay Sauvignon Blanc).

2010 Osawa Wines Prestige Collection Pinot Noir

Rating:   89/100
Author: Nick Stock
Variety:  Pinot noir
Vintage:  2010
Publication:  SMH and The Age Good Wine Guide 2013

Hawke's Bay is not the region that first springs to mind when you think of NZ Pinot Noir, but this offering from relative newcomer Osawa Wines shows plenty of varietal twang. Spiced red cherry and plum fruits segue into lighter wafts of game, red licorice and forest floor. Bright acidity, fine-grained tannins and a medium-length finish feature in a wine that shows excellent drinkability.
