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.

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.

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.
