It's so bloody annoying that New Zealand has to be the other end of the planet (from me) and impossible to bring my dog - I'm desperate to visit (even have a mate in Central Otago) and very jealous of your Wineymoon! That said, I did get to try the Palliser Chardonnay (probably 2023 vintage) here in NL last winter. I thought it was absolutely excellent and everything I wanted in a Chardonnay. However, my tasting panel (aka boozy friends) did not agree: those who like oaky, buttery styles found it too acidic, and those who like lean, unoaked Chablis styles found it too oaky. So no one was happy except me 🙃
