Dog Point Chardonnay's finesse is close to a good white Burgundy.

Completely agree, Andy. NZ is making outstanding Chardonnays, arguably more interesting than sb, and definitely better than pgris, gewurz etc.

Where are the Chardonnays? NZ chard is brilliant and comes in many different styes. Also Arneis from Gisborne?
Interesting article but missed a trick.
