The Elspeth range is Mills Reef's top tier line of wines, made from their own vineyards in the Gimblett Gravels, Hawkes Bay.

"This distinguished single vineyard Chardonnay exudes presence and finesse. The palate is wonderfully mouth-filling and creamy, with intense peach and apricot flavours in harmony with fine French oak seasoning, leading to a satisfyingly long soft and spicy finish. Instantly appealing, enjoy now or allow to age gracefully with careful cellaring." - Winemaker's notes.

93/100 Cameron Douglas MS

"A full-bodied expression with flavours of sweet California peach and yellow apple, there’s a mix of vanilla and baked nut, burnt butter and creamy-yoghurt. A delicious wine with immediate palate appeal from flavours of stone fruits and banana and vanilla to fine tannins and medium+ acid line. Well made, lengthy and ready to drink from 2024 through 2029."

93/100 Bob Campbell MW

"Rich, ripe and luscious chardonnay with tropical fruit, peach, honey, sizzled butter and spicy oak balanced by citrus fruits and nutty yeast lees flavours. Accessible wine with obvious sweetness helping to amplify the wine's wide-ranging flavours 14 DEC 2023." Drink 2023 - 2027
