"It's gently lifted on the nose, showing apricot, Gala apple, nougat and oatlmeal notes, followed by a silky palate offering juicy fruit flavours with smooth texture and bright acidity. Finely expressed with a lingering, elegant finish. At its best: now to 2027" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Dec 2024

"A lovely wine, ready to drink with a bouquet and palate of baked stone fruits and lemon, there’s a layer of apple flesh and white flowers adding breadth. Medium+ bodied with a frame of super fine fruit and wood tannins, then acidity and fruit flavours. Best drinking from day of purchase through 2028" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Dec 2024

Bright pale straw in appearance, this handcrafted Chardonnay exhibits classic varietal characters of ripe nectarine, tangelo and subtle lime citrus notes with a neatly woven thread of toasty oak adding vanilla and spice to the nose. The palate is generous, ripe and complex but retains a zesty line of acidity that keeps the wine fresh and provides structure to support a long and satisfying finish.

New Zealand’s iconic native wood pigeon and the name of the road leading to our flagship Chardonnay vineyard.

Chardonnay is sourced from Sileni’s Hawke’s Bay vineyards with a range of soil types including gravels, silt and clay loam. The different characteristics of these sites provide depth and complexity of flavour in the wines.

Kererü Chardonnay is harvested and pressed, thenfermented with French oak to develop complex layers of flavour in a traditional Burgundian style. Following primary and malolactic fer-mentation, ageing on yeast lees was carried out to ma-ture and soften the wine prior to bottling.

Food Pairing: Fish, poultry and pasta with a light creamy sauce.
