Classy Gisborne Reserve Chardonnay that's rich and finely made.
On the nose with summer peach, mango, vanilla, hazelnut, and oatmeal characters.
It's superbly harmonious and complex with a sustained, satisfying finish. At its best: now to 2031.

Rebecca's voyage into winemaking began at Massey University in New Zealand and Adelaide University's Roseworthy College in Australia, where she graduated with a degree in Biotechnology and a Post Graduate Diploma in Winemaking Science.

Rebecca launched her label Odyssey in 1994, with small amounts of premium wines. Odyssey now has 25 acres of land in Marlborough's Brancott Valley under vine.
