Price range: $60.00 through $340.00

Information

From a single vineyard in Marlborough’s Southern Valleys, this Karaka Estate Chardonnay is expressive and complex. The nose opens with lemon crème and is layered with subtle stone fruit and a gentle smoky complexity from well-judged oak. On the palate, bright, up-front acidity melts seamlessly into a mouth-filling mid-palate, delivering richness, depth, and impressive balance. Oak influence is beautifully integrated, adding texture, savoury complexity, and length without overshadowing the fruit. The finish is long, polished, and persistent, highlighting the wine’s weight and sophistication.

Pairs well with pan-seared prawns in a butter citrus sauce and aged cheeses.
