LAST BOTTLE

The “King of Chardonnay” returns! One of New Zealand’s big baddies of world class Chardonnay – with DOUBLE 95s, 62% OFF, and one “Like a premier cru Meursault” tagline for just $19?! YES!!! 

DOUBLE 95 POINTS! 62% OFF! TONY BISH IS BACK!!! Mark the date, long-time Last Bottlers, because it’s been YEARS since this Hawke’s Bay legend graced our virtual shelves, and those of you who remember how fast his Chardonnays vanished are probably already clicking. For the rest of you, here’s the pitch: James Suckling called this “like a premier cru Meursault”…and let’s be real…do you even need anything more to go on than THAT?!

Hmmm, how’s UNDER $20 sound?! Pretty sweet, right? Famously dubbed the “King of Chardonnay” by New Zealand wine writer Joelle Thomson, Tony has spent 35+ years perfecting this grape and co-founded Sacred Hill back in 1986. Now his family label is the one making critics swoon, and this is the wine his own family put their name on: The Family. The next generation is in the cellar with him now, and you can taste how personal it is. With DOUBLE 95s, and TONS of critical fanfare…the usual $50 retail price is the ONLY thing I’d call “average” about it! At our samurai-slashed $19, it’s the best price anywhere!

So what’s in the glass? Golden Delicious apple and white peach, Meyer lemon zest, honeysuckle, and a toasty hazelnut-and-nutmeg warmth that wraps it all up like a cozy sweater. It’s silky and generous through the middle, and then a saline, sea-spray snap and bright acidity pull everything tight and long. Medium-bodied, refined, and hard to put down. One does NOT simply walk past 95 POINT Chardonnay for $19! 

Timing is everything, too. The holiday season is officially upon us, and Chardonnay is the secret MVP of every table, tray, and toast from here to New Year’s Eve, whether that’s roast poultry and buttery sides, a loaded cheese board, or a quiet Tuesday with the fireplace going. At this STELLAR price, this is the bottle to have on hand for hosts, guests, and your future self, so stocking up isn’t greedy, it’s strategic! LOAD UP!

While it lasts!

95 POINTS
"Deep and layered, showing sliced apple pie, peaches and some vanilla. Medium- to full-bodied with lovely texture and length. Like a premier cru Meursault. Drink now. Screw cap." -James Suckling
95 POINTS
"This is a fantastic, refined, medium-bodied Chardonnay from Tony Bish, bursting with ripe citrus and orchard fruit, white flowers, and elegant brown baking spices. All of those aromas come together on the palate, with saline minerality and crisp acidity. Excellent fruit concentration creates a harmonious mid-palate, and the wine is teeming with energy, with great length and tension. 100% Chardonnay. Abv. 13.5%" -Tasting Panel
