Tony Bish Wines was founded in 2013 by a man of the same name. The winery is located on New Zealand’s northern island, in the country’s oldest wine region, Hawkes Bay. Tony Bish is the unofficial king of New Zealand Chardonnay and has spent the last 30 years seeking innovative ways to express the Burgundy grape.
He is also credited with bringing the first concrete egg-shaped barrels to New Zealand, which bore this beautiful Golden Egg Chardonnay. The innovative method of fermenting grapes in an egg-shaped container allows for more interaction between yeast and wine. The idea was formed in France in 2001, but Tony adopted it after visiting wineries in South America.
The result is a silky, pure wine, replete with concentrated scents of stonefruit, citrus, cashew nut, and a hint of oatmeal cookies. It is a medium-bodied Chardonnay, filling and luscious in the mouth, with a touch of chalkiness. The palate is focused, with strong notes of lemon, pineapple, chamomile and brioche, supported by an edge of minerality. The Golden Egg Chardonnay is a natural pairing for white fish, creamy chicken or pumpkin/squash-based pasta dish.

overall i had a positive experience, they have a wide range of wines, some which are hard to find anywhere else - the main reason i still buy from them, plus the discounts are fair and often, but... their codes for the first offer only works at the first offer, which if fine, but then why would you send me the voucher in each package i order, why spam me on the email and every time i log in on the website? this is really bothering me... then their rewards points system is useless, first of all because you only get peanuts even after spending €250 on an order, but even those peanuts will expire if you won't order again soon, which is unfair, to say the least... and lastly, if you get a corked wine, a wine with any deffect or a wine that leaked (my last order contained a bottle of $100 Caymus Cabernet with a leaking cork, which made the wine tasted cooked and flat), they have no procedure put in place for you to replace or return the wine or to get a refund or replacement - none, which is a big no no no for any wine collector... so all in all i give it 3 stars for now
