Clearview Estate boarders the Pacific Ocean and produces powerful wines. Proprietors Tim Turvey and Helma van den Berg brag that they produce New Zealand's most power packed Chardonnay - lots of melolatic fermentation and oak. Bob Campbell (MW) describes their award winning Chardonnay as 'Exceptionally mouth-filling and overflowing with peachy, oaky, mealy flavour...a hedonist's delight'. Clearview has had considerable success. Most recently at the Royal Easter Show 2006 its 2004 Old Olive Block was awarded gold, its 2004 Reserve Chardonnay silver together with its 2004 Enigma and its 2005 Black Reef Blush.
