Kahurangi Estate's Chardonnay 2023 is curated from select estates in the Nelson region, predominantly graced by Moutere clay. Reflecting a harmonious fusion of tradition and innovation, this exceptional wine undergoes 100% maturation in a blend of seasoned French and American oak barrels for 10 months, followed by a graceful malolactic fermentation. Aromas of rock melon, ripe peaches, and warm spices greet the nose, accompanied by a subtle touch of fruit sweetness. On the palate, a symphony of flavours unfolds, with well-integrated stone fruit and dried apricot notes gracefully intermingling with rich oak toastiness. The result is a beautifully generous wine, boasting a lingering finish and impeccable balance.
