"Delightfully fruited and elegantly fragrant, the wine shows ripe peach, green pear, fig and subtle spice notes on the nose, followed by a juicy palate offering ripe fruit intensity combined with fine texture and bright acidity, making it instantly appealing" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Oct 2021
"Fragrant, fruity and varietal bouquet with aromas of yellow apple and nashi pear, white stone fruits and green pear skin. Supple, satin textures on the palate with a refreshing acid line then flavours that reflect the bouquet with a touch of mineral and floral. Balanced, fresh, lively and ready. Best drinking from purchase day through 2024" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommellier, Oct 2021
The nose, fragrant and brimming with nashi pears and guava, is reflected in the fruit driven palate which is seductively dry and packed with crunchy pip fruit flavours. Subtle minerality and a great full length, finish off this stunning wine.
2021 Harvest was another high quality but tough vintage for the Nelson region. Starting with a cool spring and late, dry summer volumes were down overall by 35%. On the upside, the quality of fruit is superb, perfect for making sensational wine.
Wine was fermented and matured in 100% stainless steel.
Kahurangi Estate is named after the stunning Kahurangi National Park on our doorstep. Kahurangi is a Maori word with a number of translations, two being “treasured possession” and “precious jewel”. The Kahurangi Estate Series showcases some of the finest wine the region has to offer.
Food Pairing: Versatile and perfectly matched to food or enjoyed on its own. This elegant, fleshy wine makes a perfect aperitif, or serve chilled (11°c) with fresh fish.
