Bob Campbell, MW, December 2009

Taut, steel wine with strong citrus, mineral flavours plus a seasoning of wholemeal, cashew nut and classy French oak. Seamless, linear wine that shows great power and bags of potential. Serious Chardonnay by any standard.

Dry River doesn't get a ton of press for its Chardonnay, but this is a terrific example of what Martinborough can do. Restrained toast and oak-spice elements complement fruits that range from melon to apple and citrus. It's medium in body, with a long, crisp, citrusy finish. Drink it over the next 5-6 years.

About Winery

The name Dry River carries an historical significance as the name of one of the earliest Wairarapa sheep stations (ca. 1877). In 1979 Neil and Dawn McCallum planted a vineyard a few kilometres from Dyerville in a very dry, gravely and free-draining area now called the 'Martinborough Terrace' and they took the name Dry River for the vineyard and wines in what was to become another chapter of Martinborough's farming history. Their dream was to produce individual, high quality regional wines which faithfully reflect the 'terroir', vintage and are suitable for cellaring.
