Te Kairanga Estate Chardonnay 2009

Delicious aromas of white peaches and apricots enhance this rich creamy wine which shows excellent weight and persistence across the mid-palate. There is an underlying spice and cloves complexity from the oak aging. A wine to enjoy now or cellar until 2014.
Chardonnays are big and bold and this one is a good example. Be brave and serve a power-packed seafood risotto or fruity pork or chicken dish. This wine can handle it.
The stone-filled river terraces are free-draining while the topsoils vary from slope to slope. The mountains protect us from harsh elements and we enjoy long dry days and cool nights. The vines grow less vigorously in the cool, breezy conditions, so yields are lower and the flavours more intense. Our long dry autumns provide the right balance of warm days (creating ripeness) and cool nights (providing elegance) for producing top quality Pinot Noir and other early-ripening varieties. The results speak for themselves – the Martinborough region is known internationally for consistently producing world-class fine wines.
