Notes

2019 was a stand-out vintage for both the Nelson and Marlborough regions. A long, hot and very dry summer and autumn resulting in superb, clean, ripe fruit packed with intense flavours perfect for making sensational wine. Grapes sourced from the Moutere Hills region of Nelson and the Marlborough Chardonnay sourced from the Wairau Valley. Honey-oak and vanilla aromas with hints of ripe peach pair beautifully with tropical fruit and subtle spicy-oak flavours.

Reviews & Awards

4.5 Stars - The Wine Writer 2020

By Angie Atkinson

Kahurangi use a blend of fruit from Nelson vineyards planted on Moutere clay and the stony free draining soils of the Marlborough vineyard. Fermented and aged in a combination of stainless steel vats, and French and American barrels.

Playful aromas of yellow apple, baked apple, fleshy white peach, and white spice. Elegant and fresh with the aromas continuing onto the palate, light to medium in weight and a long, oak spiced finish. This wine is perfect for food pairing, light enough to match with fresh seafood, but enough complexity to also match with richer chicken and pork dishes.

4.5 Stars - Sam Kim, Wine Orbit 2020

By Sam Kim

It’s beautifully ripe and fragrant on the nose showing summer peach, assorted nut, nougat and vanilla aromas, followed by a delightfully smooth palate that’s supple and creamy. It’s generous and flavoursome with mellow acidity, making it friendly and very tasty
