Description

Hawke’s Bay Chardonnay from the outstanding 2024 vintage CLEARING Made Too Much (MTM) at an astonishing $12.99! It is our own “Tongue in Cheek” label we created 15-years ago to disguise surplus premium quality wines from excellent producers who had simply Made too Much. MTM wines must sit within a price range of $9.99 to $13.99. Chardonnay is the #1 White Grape in the World… no other white grape is as beautifully vulnerable to the considered influence of winemaking! It’s more expensive to make, hence how challenging it has been to get a Made Too Much Chardonnay of a quality at $12.99 bottle that tastes like you paid much more for it. Over 15-years of MTM wines… this 2024 Hawke’s Bay is the first Chardonnay to make the cut, we rejected many submissions in that time. The winery simply Made Too Much, in a bountiful 2024 year for their more premium label. There are creamy elements from malolactic ferment and lees stirring and the fruit is excellent. We can’t mention the winery or the wine this would normally go into, but we believe it will be the finest $12.99 Chardonnay you’ve ever enjoyed. Drink now and often.

Smells

Ripe citrus and peach with hints of hazelnut, vanilla, cream… the aromas are charming.

Tastes

Plump juicy stone fruit leading to fine ripe citrus with a delicious toasty thread. It’s creamy centre and subtle vanilla tick all the boxes for Chardonnay drinkers. Fresh and focused on the finish with a pleasant biscuity insinuation… you’ll enjoy it’s easy, moreish palate. And the astonishing price allows you to make it your delicious Monday-Friday Chardonnay. Preheat the oven to 180 and butter up the roast chicken – Made Too Much is rare quality for the money!

Great value, very drinkable should get better over next few months

16th April 2025 | Bruce

Perfect 'house wine' when you don't want to get out the 'dinner party' wine. I was pleasantly surprised at the body, nose and flavour.

16th April 2025 | Bridget

Very nice but think it needs some time

16th April 2025 | alison rowe

Lovely wine, not enough in the bottle to share !!

16th April 2025 | Leanne Heaphy

Definitely worth the wait for a MTM. Ripe stone fruit and citrus aroma with a creamy texture. Looking forward to blind tasting it with friends.

16th April 2025 | Mark (use this plz) Robinson

I like HB Chardonnays. I wasn't expecting something as good as this.

16th April 2025 | Gray Mathias

Lovely easy drinking Chardonnay. Hints of lemon and lime with a hint of gentle oak vanilla. Can’t wait until it fattens out a little given recent bottling. Then it will be 5 star at the price. Fantastic.

16th April 2025 | Chris Kilby

enjoyed the wine, great value for money

16th April 2025 | Robyn Brand

Very nice Chardonnay and good value for money.

16th April 2025 | Julie Mere Pelling

very buyable and excellent value

16th April 2025 | Andrew

3 out of 5. Having trouble detecting the chardonnay in this wine. We have discussed this at length.

16th April 2025 | Dale Hoy

Nice clean-tasting fresh Chardonnay with some backbone and structure. Will develop and would buy again

16th April 2025 | Peter Osborne

I thought that this Chardonnay was a very good toasty every day drinking wine and did not disappoint, colour was great and it was very creamy and refreshing.

16th April 2025 | Lyn

A very pleasant wine with a lingering taste of mineral acidity and nashi. Will buy again.

16th April 2025 | Murray Gee

A 5 star wine at this price. Nicely balanced. Drinks well with/without food. Will buy again.

15th April 2025 | Jonathan Tanner

I would put it in the category of a $30.00 plus wine. Very drinkable!!

15th April 2025 | Wayne Pickering

Very pleasant and easy drinking. maybe too easy finished a whole bottle in on sitting

15th April 2025 | Christopher Fidoe

A nice chardonnay, better after being opened a little while and maybe leave it a few months / years. The 4 out of 5 reflects the price which is the cheapest I've paid for a wine this drinkable.

15th April 2025 | John Pascoe

Absolutely value for money, a great tasting wine, thst you would expect to.pay at least $10.00 -more a bottle for.Dont miss out on this genuine bargain

15th April 2025 | Wendy Hoare

I love a creamy rich chardonnay and was totally amazed this met my expectations at this price

15th April 2025 | Alison Simonson

Wow, this was such a nice surprise. I have been let down before with these unbranded wines. Not this time. Good colour in the glass, crisp and zesty with "Lemony" notes when tasting. At this price it is a bargain. Definitely tastes like a far more expensive wine.

15th April 2025 | Pieter Lloyd

A great wine for under $13.

15th April 2025 | Ian Ball

Very nice drinking Chardonnay . Great price, would buy again

15th April 2025 | Tammy Turner

Exceptional value. Soft start on the palate, then carries on in the mouth as a good wine should.

15th April 2025 | ALAN GRAHAM JONES

Yum - very nice - amazing price

15th April 2025 | Alitta Meijer

Superb value for money, a very good $25-$30 bottle

15th April 2025 | Brian Frost

15th April 2025 | Colin Carryer

Outstanding value for money

15th April 2025 | Neil Mayo

A really delicious well balanced Chardonnay and incredible value

15th April 2025 | Lou

It is a very nice easy drinking Chardonnay, I would buy again.

15th April 2025 |

Not what I expected from the description of "Creamy" However, being a 2024 it is probably way too new to really rate it

15th April 2025 | Ali

These made too much wines are fantastic value for money. The MTM Chardonnay is a 3.5/5 for (my taste) quality but a 5/5 for bag for your buck. An excellent drinking wine that can also be enjoyed on its own.

15th April 2025 | Jeff Hollows

Nice mouth feel, nectarines/peaches on the nose and tongue. Not a long finish but tasty

15th April 2025 | Paul Coyle

Very happy with this wine. Excellent with a lovely crisp finish. Ideal with a meal or just a glass while sitting in the summer sun.

15th April 2025 | Judy Trainer

Unbelievable value. A very good Chardonnay

15th April 2025 | David Beatson

A lovely Chardonnay, citrusy with a hint of vanilla. An absolute steal at the price.

15th April 2025 | Peter Ennis

Value for money this is very good drinking chardonnay. I'll buy more.

15th April 2025 | Richard Rowley

Stunning value for money!

15th April 2025 | Alan Clark

15th April 2025 | tim england

Absolute winner at this value, buying this as a backbone for the cellar.

15th April 2025 | Barrie Harris
