Lay of the Land Dillons Point Chardonnay 2021
Market Price
To show you the value you're getting as an Angel...
We regularly benchmark a selection of our wines against up to three comparable wines on the market. The Market Price is based on the price of those wines.
What do we mean by benchmark? We taste them blind against our own wines, or we use our market knowledge (over 40 years between us) to set an industry standard Market Price.
If you buy one of our wines and disagree with the Market Price, or it's not your cup of tea, we'll add a credit to your account. For more info, see our FAQS.

About the wine
Mike's new Chard is giving the Savs a run for their money
- When people think of the New Zealand winemaking, Sauvignon Blanc tends to be the front runner in people's minds. But little do they know, a trick is being missed...
- NZ Chardonnay has been creeping it's way up the charts in the last few years with the encouragement of some of the biggest names in the business. Jancis Robinson MW, for one has said that New Zealand's Chards are of such excellent quality that they could trump some of the most popular currently on the market.
- Mike has thrown his hat into the ring with his deliciously aromatic and bright Dillons Point Chardonnay. With abundant fruitiness at the heart of this wine, a lovely rich texture is built with layered flavours of freshly baked bread and a gentle oakiness. It's all rounded off expertly by a steely lick of acidity - perfection.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Mike Paterson
- Mike used to be the Head Winemaker at one of New Zealand's finest, most prestigious Sauvignon Blanc wineries.
- He loved the job, but he also loved the idea of fulfilling his life-long dream of going it alone. Only problem was, the financial equation was "beyond scary" (as Mike put it!)
- We funded Mike to go it alone on one tiny, simple, lovely condition: he makes you some absolute stunners in the wine department. With your backing, he’s been able to make some of the most consistently high-rated Sauvignons in the whole of New Zealand. Kudos to you.
