From the home vineyard on limestone soil, the 2009 Field of Fire Chardonnay has slightly closed warm apple and apricot aromas with some cashews, meal and a little honeysuckle. Very crisp and rich in the medium bodied mouth, it offers a generous amount of mid-palate flavor and good texture, finishing long with creamy/nutty notes. Drink it 2012 to 2016+. (91+) (10/ 2011)
Additional comments from Wine Advocate: "Mike and Claudia Weersing continue to work nature's magic on their wines. The results are truly unique wines that can only come from these creative hands working out of this pretty patch just inland from the Waipara. Even more exciting is that the quality straight across the estate and growers labels just gets better and more consistent each year from this relatively new operation. The Growers Collection is a range of wines sourced from throughout New Zealand that have been grown organically and are made by Mike. The Home Vineyards Collection represents wines that are wines produced biodynamically off the small but beautiful 'home' estate in North Canterbury. Both ranges are well worth seeking out." (10/11)
