Chardonnay
This wine shows a complex array of aromas. Fresh cut peach and grapefruit peel are coupled with nutty charry oak and baked pastry characters. The broad palate shows layers of citrus and roast nuts with a rich and creamy texture.
Tasting Notes
Our carefully manicured vineyard sites, selected specifically with the Rapaura Series of wines in mind, have produced some beautiful Chardonnay fruit – Rich and fruity with layers of complexity and a rich weighty finish.

Serving Suggestions
How to Serve
Best served between 10-12°C
Which Glass
Choose a glass with a large bowl, similar to that of the Burgundy glass
Food Pairing
Serve slightly chilled on its own or with the freshest white fish or shellfish you can get. Fabulous with BBQ king prawns coated with a lime zest butter, smoked salmon bruschetta, and seared tuna steaks. Equally good paired with pesto chicken with pinenuts, as well as richer dishes such as pork loin in creamy garlic sauce.
