In exceptional years the Kahurangi winemakers carefully select the four best barrels of their finest Chardonnay to make this wine.
The wine undergoes 100% fermentation in a new French oak barriques for over 12 months prior to extended barrel ageing. Once bottled it is then cellared for a further two years before release.
Four Barrels Chardonnay has toasty butter, ripe stone fruit and soft vanilla on the nose. The palate is full and complex with well-integrated nectarine and dried apricot flavours backed by an elegant oak richness resulting in a beautifully generous, long and well-balanced wine
Food Pairing
A perfect match with lobster, crayfish, scallops and prawns or simply enjoy on its own slightly chilled.
Cellar
