Lovely golden colour in the glass. Ripe peach and melon layered with butterscotch and toasty oak notes. The palate is big, rich and full with great length and weight.

The grapes for this elegant Gisborne Chardonnay are grown from two select parcels from the Briant and Tietjen vineyards. The wine is made from a mixture of Chardonnay clones, creating a wine with more layers of flavour and complexity; 50% Mendoza, 35% ENTAV-INRA 548 and 15% ENTAV-INRA. Premium Burgundies use 809 as a blending component to give them a lovely aromatic lift and so we apply this principle to our wonderfully layered Chardonnay. The vines achieved good ripeness and with low yields came excellent flavours and weight to the fruit.

Harvested in the cool of the morning, the fruit for this wine reached superb ripeness after another warm Summer in Gisborne. A portion of the grapes were hand-picked and a portion machine harvested, gently pressed and slightly clarified prior to fermentation. The juice was inoculated with the indigenous yeast from this vineyard, which provided layers of flavour and aroma complexity, as well as a wonderful palate texture. The juice was cool fermented till dry and then underwent full malolactic fermentation and spent 4 months on lees before being stabilized and bottled. A portion of the blend is fermented and aged in a combination of American and European barrels. The barrels selected here are from the parcels we don’t deem quite good enough to make the Irwin status but are still of exceptional quality to even be considered! The wine also undergoes full malolactic fermentation.

Food Pairing: Enjoy with seafood, white meats and cheeses.

I LOVE THIS BLANKET!!
Color: Pink, Size: Throw
Just buy it right now because it’s very affordable, high quality, and soooooooo silky soft. Feels similar to a Minky couture blanket, only with longer fuzzies. I got the one sided raspberry pink looking colored throw size and I love it. No regrets, easy to wash, and doesn’t fall apart in washer. I love it and will buy more in the future, highly recommend🩷🩷🩷

Great product!
Color: Double Sided Tie-dye Pink, Size: Throw
We ordered the pink tie-dye colors which is gorgeous so we ordered 2 more in different colors. They are soft and the weight is perfect. A great blanket for bed or snuggling on the couch.

Lola look for a fraction of the price
Color: Cream White, Size: Twin, Color: Cream White, Size: Twin
I bought two of these blankets in twin size to protect our leather chairs from our cats' claws, after giving up on finding slip covers that looked good. I draped and pinned the blankets with a single large safety pin, and they pretty much stay put whereas other throws I've tried this with have not. I think it's because they're not too heavy or too light. I do need to adjust them from time to time after people have sat in them. I heard these blankets are a good substitute for the pricey Lola blankets, known for their bubbly texture. I haven't seen a Lola blanket, but these are certainly much less expensive and very nice, so soft and with the same bubbly look. The bubbles are not quite as pronounced as I'd hoped, but I have not tried following the manufacturer's suggestion of fluffing up by tumble-drying on cool with tennis balls. I'm happy with this purchase, and my cats are too.

Luxury at its finest. Must have. You will not be disappointed!
Size: Twin(60" x 80"), Color: Tie-dye Coffee
This blanket is a must have! I purchased several to compare and decide which one was going to make the cut. There was absolutely no competition. This is the softest, most luxurious, coziest and authentic looking blanket. I told my sweetheart THIS is the cozy time blanket! Luxury at its finest! I have real vintage for jackets that are extremely luxurious and this rivals them with a clear conscience!Absolutely stunning and extremely high class feeling and appearing. Also semi-heavy and very warm . Upgrade to any space
