Toi Toi Lifestyle Gisborne Chardonnay 2023"This is going to be a chubby Gisborne fellow, not fat, but hearty as Chardonnay goes. Very well made and structured. Fruit statement starting to emerge while young and shows very promising. A warm, uncluttered style, nicely balanced and Gisborne at its best" Peter Saunders Review, Sep 2023 "Its immediately appealing on the nose with ripe stone fruit, rockmelon, nougat and oatmeal notes, leading to a beautifully rounded palate offering ripe fruit

"This is going to be a chubby Gisborne fellow, not fat, but hearty as Chardonnay goes. Very well made and structured. Fruit statement starting to emerge while young and shows very promising. A warm, uncluttered style, nicely balanced and Gisborne at its best" Peter Saunders Review, Sep 2023

"It’s immediately appealing on the nose with ripe stone fruit, rockmelon, nougat and oatmeal notes, leading to a beautifully rounded palate offering ripe fruit flavours with creamy texture and well-pitched acidity. Delightfully harmonious and smooth with tasty flavours. At its best: now to 2026" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Sep 2023

Our 2023 Gisborne Chardonnay immediately captures the senses with ripe orchard fruits leading the way. A medley of golden peach, ripe apple, and a touch of pineapple on the nose are enhanced by hints of toasted oak, vanilla, and hazelnut. A creamy and velvety texture envelop the palate, delivering flavours that mirror the nose beautifully. The orchard fruits persist, coupled with citrus undertones of lemon curd and a nuance of white peach. The oak presence, while evident, is seamlessly integrated, contributing a gentle toasty character and subtle butterscotch sweetness that’s elegantly balanced with a refreshing mineral finish.

The grapes for our 2023 Gisborne Chardonnay are grown at the Brunton Road Vineyard in the Patutahi Plateau, Gisborne’s youngest and most promising growing spot. The rich Kaiti clay in the soil here is famous for producing premium flavoured fruit. This spot is much warmer and drier than other areas.

Our Gisborne Chardonnay harvest occurs in mid-March. The grapes are machine-harvested in the cool mornings and evenings. The fruit is then taken to a local winery for juicing. We press the grapes gently and the free-run juice is kept separate from the pressings. The free-run juice is left to settle for 24 hours then is racked with some of the grape solids to create weight and texture. The pressings are hyper-oxidised to reduce phenolics and to add weight to our wine.

The juice is then chilled and taken to our Marlborough winery to be fermented. It is split into two batches to be fermented with different yeasts, one textural and the other fruit-focused. After fermentation, the batches are blended and aged on lees with oak staves. Weekly stirring of the lees adds a silky texture and mouthfeel. A second Malolactic fermentation occurs at this point and is stopped at 20-25% to add a creamy layer. After 5-6 months, the wine is racked off lees and oak and we bottle it as 2023 Gisborne Chardonnay.

From snow capped mountains to endless coastline, our native Toi Toi expresses itself distinctively across New Zealand. This adaptability is the inspiration for our wines - crafted from New Zealand’s best grape growing regions. Proudly family owned and sustainably produced – protecting our lands for future generations.

The orange and blue ball is perfect. Once start taken because the because the blue noisy one was a little to easy for my dog to start ripping pieces off. Will say most toys do not survive his chewing.

Aggressive chewer who loves fetch approved!!
Size: Medium, Size: Medium
I highly recommend the Chuck-It brand in general, especially for dogs with an aggressive bite. These balls are awesome and are the most durable balls I’ve bought for my 50 lbs lab mix. He has not been able to break one of them yet and we’ve had a few of the squeaky balls for months. They are a bit pricey but worth it. The one in the pic has been used for months, lives outside and you can see it’s still in great shape.

Good quality dog ball for playing fetch
Size: Medium
My dog and family love these chuck it balls to play fetch with our dog. They are durable and fun. They squeak which is added fun for any dog! Regular tennis balls my dog chews apart and they get pretty gross after playing and being left outside. These can be easily washed off and cleaned. These balls last! Would recommend to anyone with a dog and would purchase again.

Our German Sheppard loves these
Size: Medium
These cost a bit more than tennis balls, but they are so much nicer and longer lasting. For starters, they stay cleaner than tennis balls because they’re smooth rubber. Dirt won’t build up on them and if anything does stick, like grass or soil, it falls off once the dog slobber dries. They’re also thick, so they don’t fall apart or blow out like a normal tennis ball does in our dog’s jaws after 30 seconds. Our GS chomps on these like crazy and the only damage they’ve suffered is a crack that developed from the edge of the hole, but the crack is growing very slowly and none of these balls have totally failed yet. The balls do whistle when thrown ant high speed and that may help a dog track and locate it, but I’m not sure. Our neighbors hear the whistling too so it’s far from silent. Lastly the orange ball is easy to locate out in our yard, but the dark blue practically disappears.
