Description

Mahi Twin Valleys Marlborough Chardonnay 2023"Flinty reduction branches off stony oyster shell and heritage apple flavours on this complex and lightly restrained wine. Beautiful, crystalline acidity provides a counterpoint for the deepening toffee, spice and wood flavours which take hold towards the back of the palate before tamping down to a dry, chewy finish. There is both density to the compact, coffee ish flavours as well as a leaner, brittle, bony aspect. This will develop in the mid term

"Flinty reduction branches off stony oyster-shell and heritage apple flavours on this complex and lightly restrained wine. Beautiful, crystalline acidity provides a counterpoint for the deepening toffee, spice and wood flavours which take hold towards the back of the palate before tamping down to a dry, chewy finish. There is both density to the compact, coffee-ish flavours as well as a leaner, brittle, bony aspect. This will develop in the mid-term into something quite complex and smooth" Stephen Wong, The Real Review, Feb 2025

This wine shows an array of fruit characters, ranging from citrus through to tropical notes. This is complemented by some secondary characters from the natural yeast ferments and some barrel aging. The palate has an elegant structure with a creamy, textural mid-palate and a long finish.

Mahi, meaning ‘our work, our craft’, began in 2001, fulfilling a dream of ours. After 15 vintages it was time to do our own thing. With a strong focus on single-vineyard wines, and now backed up by a series of premium regional wines from Marlborough, the idea behind Mahi is to respect and promote the individuality of the various vineyards. The Mahi symbol represents the strength, life, and growth of the native New Zealand frond (fern), with the understanding that wine should never be rushed to bottle, respecting its ability to evolve naturally over time.

This year, our 23rd, was again distinctive and it was a late start for us and was a longer vintage. Starting on March the 15th the weather stayed very settled through the vintage period and allowed us to pick as we like until we finished on April 18th. Smaller crops always helps and after a warm period after Christmas the temperatures cooled down to ‘average’ and it served to maintain fruit flavours while ripening the fruit. A great team from seven nations worked so well together and we are super happy with the eventual wines.

The aim for this Chardonnay is to retain a fresh structure rather than producing a wine that is too broad. The clone and site help with this, but also the picking decisions also work to retain acidity in the glass. This wine comes from a small parcel in the Twin Valley Vineyard, located in the Fareham Lane area of Marlborough. The vineyard is at the western end of the Wairau Valley, at the junction with the Waihopai, and is on the top terrace. The upper terrace along the Wairau has a more complex soil, a great mixture of silt, clay and stones that give drainage but also some water-holding to help the vines through the dry periods. Being some distance from the sea the climate is also cooler. The grapes therefore typically ripen more slowly and retain an interesting mineral character. The vines were cropped low to ensure ripeness and palate richness. The grapes were then whole-cluster pressed and the high-solids juice taken straight to French barriques for fermentation with indigenous yeast. After 15 months in oak, we felt the balance was correct and gently took the wine from barrel.

Amazing fit, great quality material
Size: 30W x 32L, Color: Medium Grey, Size: 30W x 32L, Color: Medium Grey
I ordered this pair of denim pants in my usual size (30x32) and they fit amazingly. The cut is slim, but not overly tight. The material is the perfect thickness and seems to be of excellent quality, with a slight stretchiness to it. They are slightly softer than most denim pants I have worn. I am finding that they are great for both business casual settings with a button-up shirt and more informal "dress down" type situations with a t-shirt and sneakers. This is probably my favorite pair of jeans that I have gotten in at least a few years, and I would highly recommend overall.

Soft, comfortable fitting jeans
Size: 30W x 30L, Color: Black Rinse
Good quality and a great slim fit, but a bit expensive for a blend. Since they aren’t 100% cotton, they have a slight stretch that makes them more comfortable and softer than standard jeans. I’m happy with the look and feel, but I’ll have to see how they hold up over time.

Very nice and would highly recommend!
Size: 32W x 30L, Color: Medium Grey
The fit is exactly what I was looking for, slim without being too tight, and it fits true to size, so I get that modern look but still feel comfortable sitting or walking around all day. The denim feels soft yet sturdy, which makes me confident it’ll hold up well over time. I also love the classic 5-pocket design. It’s functional and keeps my essentials handy without adding bulk. The color holds up after a few washes, and there’s minimal fading so far, which is a big plus for me. Pairing these pants with a casual tee or a button-down is effortless, they easily transition from work to weekend vibes. For the price and quality, I feel like these are a solid addition to my wardrobe. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a slim, comfortable, and versatile pair of jeans.

They feel like cardboard
Size: 36W x 29L, Color: Medium Grey
I kept these hoping to replace a denizen slim 216 that I can’t find anymore. These are not as a soft and rather quite stiff, maybe due to the recycled content. They might do for the occasional trip out of the house but I’m not impressed and glad I didn’t pay full price.
