Malborough Express - 23rd Jan 2013
Fermentation defines the character
DEBORAH WALTON-DERRY & PETER MORICE
Osawa Hawke's Bay Prestige Collection Chardonnay 2010 ($39)
We continue to be impressed by Osawa wines and this chardonnay is no exception. A big wine at 14.5 per cent abv, it retains its poise and irresistibility.
Straw coloured with a gentle stone fruit, vanilla and cream aroma - all the power and finesse is on the palate.
Satin textured with ginger, soda and apple cider flavours that are quite crisp. By mid-palate sweet lemon and some classy oak are in the mix; the length, integration and complexity this wine displays say it all.

We were delighted when Paul Tudor and the tasting team Recomended our Flying Sheep Rose 2011. Described as...
Bright, cherry-red appearance, heightened aromatics of fruitcake and spice; a forward, punchy style of rose with some weight and concentration, along with a hint of sweetness on the finish.

Our winemakers are an eclectic bunch and this selection of
OTHER WHITES is a tiny taste of some of the lesser-known varieties that are
being put through their paces. They’re crisp, flavourful and fantastic to drink
on any occasion.

... and my favourite dessert wine of the year, the Osawa Noble Gewurztraminer 2011 took the Sweet Wine trophy.
