Kahurangi Estate 'Estate Reserve' Chardonnay 2025

Estate & Region

We source grapes from several sites around the Nelson region encompassing the Waimea Plains with its rich alluvial soils to the Moutere Hills and their intense clay loams. Nelson’s cool maritime climate allows us to produce distinctive wines from the various sub-regions.

The home-block vineyard, located near the iconic Upper Moutere Village was first planted in 1973 and contains a number of varieties including Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, Montepulciano and the oldest commercial Riesling vines in the South Island. Kahurangi Estate was established in 1998 and continues to be a leading brand in the quality focused Nelson wine scene.

Tasting Notes

Concentrated and layered, this wine opens with aromas of nectarine, baked lemon and grapefruit, intertwined with roasted cashew, brioche and subtle French oak. The palate is rich and mouth-filling, with impressive depth of fruit, fine texture and well-integrated barrel complexity. A long, poised finish highlights both power and finesse

The Kahurangi Estate ‘Estate Reserve’ Series of wine is made especially in mind for the hospitality trade and is exclusively available here on our website.
