Kahurangi Estate Mt Arthur Nelson Chardonnay 2023
Description
- French oak
- White peach
- Crème brûlée
- Gentle tannins
A complex wine fermented and aged in a mix of new and aged French barriques. Soft vanilla, caramel and Crème Brule on the nose and flavours of white peach, apricots and subtle warm spices on the palate. Rich and generous with defined fruit flavours backed by well-structured, gentle tannins and medium acidity - a well made, elegant wine. A beautiful seductive wine, drinking well now but would reward patience beyond 2030.
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 Mt Arthur Reserve Series showcases our premium ‘Reserve’ range of wines which stand out for their superior quality and structure.
Selected from two vineyards grown in the Moutere Hills. Predominantly in Moutere clay.
Harvest 2023 was also a challenging season to start with. Variable fruit set and early disease pressure made it challenging work for our team out in the vineyards. It settled down with a dry, hot January, then February kicked in and was wet from start to end. March came along and the weather behaved until harvest time. We ended up with good quality fruit across all varieties and about average sized volumes. All in all, a very good year and some lovely wines to follow.
100% fermentation in a mix of new and older French oak barriques for over 10 months.
Food Pairing: A perfect match with lobster, crayfish, scallops and prawns or simply enjoyed on its own slightly chilled.
