Stargazer pays tribute to Abel Tasman, who as an explorer and navigator, must have spent a fair amount of time gazing towards the heavens. Tasman, a Dutchman under the employ of the United East India Company was the first European to sight Tasmania (on 24 November 1642) and then the South Island of New Zealand, nineteen days later on 13 December.
He is a natural link for me, having been born and bred a South Islander, and now having fallen in love with another island, Tasmania. The opportunity to work with pristine fruit to craft the wines that I am passionate about in an environment of extraordinary beauty is really all I have ever wanted to do as a winemaker.

Chardonnay pairs exceptionally well with a variety of dishes, including creamy pasta, grilled seafood, roasted chicken, and dishes featuring buttery sauces, thanks to its versatile flavor profile and balanced acidity.
The nose shows plenty of white nectarine and fresh pear with some background secondary notes of gunflint and almond meal.
The palate is complex and round with mandarin juice mouth-watering acidity, the fruit and oak integrated and focussed at the same time.
