We’re excited to share that The Landing 2022 Chardonnay has been included in two respected wine lists—Metro magazine’s Top 50 Wines (with a place in their Top 10) and James Suckling’s Top 100 New Zealand Wines.
The judges shared the following tasting notes:
“If you want a talking point, this is it. The vines for this wine are grown at The Landing resort, located near the tip of the Purerua Peninsula at the northern end of the Bay of Islands. While the region is visually stunning, viticulture in these latitudes presents its challenges. The vineyard is managed with exceptional attention to detail. And the wine itself is a standout—featuring notes of creaming soda, roasted fennel, roasted artichoke heart, ripe pear, and hazelnut. The palate is lovely and rounded, with texture and impressive length.”
James Suckling awarded it a 94-point rating, describing it as: “Plenty of apple, lemon, and raw bread dough aromas and flavours, yet it remains reserved and polished. Flavourful and vivid, with hints of vanilla and apple tart in the finish.”
These recognitions are a testament to the quality and dedication behind The Landing wines, and we are thrilled to see our Chardonnay celebrated among New Zealand’s finest.
The Landing 2022 Chardonnay is available to order online for delivery in both New Zealand and the United States.
