Tony Bish Chardonnay Zen 750mL
Tony Bish Chardonnay Zen 750mL
The latest release of Tony Bish's limited edition top Chardonnay, under a label about which Jamie Goode has said that it "may be the best NZ Chardonnay I have ever tried". Presented in a stunning black box, the Zen is the first Chardonnay in the world to have been made exclusively in an Ovum, i.e. a 200L vessel in this case made of Taransaud oak and shaped like an egg, to enhance lees contact and texture. The fruit is from the Skeetfield Vineyard, a site just out of Fernhill where 25 year old vines of dry-farmed Mendoza Chardonnay supply Tony's two top labels. A stunning wine of immense refinement and depth, the Zen is at least as delicious as it is collectible.
NOTE WELL: If you wish to order wine or other vintage products, unless the vintage is specified in the TITLE, we will send you the current available vintage. If you want to check the current available vintage before ordering please call our hotline 0423 121 969.

There’s a bright, lively citrus core with fine-grained structure. Such precision and detail with some spicy, mealy richness. There’s amazing intensity and balance here. There are layers of flavour, with lemons, saline notes, and some grapefruit notes.
The palate has beautiful texture and finesse.
