Highgate Chardonnay is from a very famous vineyard in the Upper Hunter Valley of New South Wales which has consistently produced high quality fruit for a number of well known, premium wines. This elegant Chardonnay has length and finesse. French oak plays a subtle but essential role in the wine integrating fully with its rich, natural flavours. A perfect accompaniment to shell fish, other seafood and chicken dishes.
Deep Straw colour
Obvious fruits are peaches and melons, there is an evident depth in the aroma and some vanilla notes.
Generous and round fruits, carried by elegant and restrained oak.  There is a refreshing crispness to the finish which draws you back for more.

Made from a selection of Nelson grapes from the plains and the Upper Moutere. The resulting full-bodied wine has layers of fruit flavours that are associated with New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc and our very different winemaking techniques.

Tropical fruit and ripe pear tickle the nose, rich textural fresh notes of lemon zest and passionfruit on the palate. A lovely crisp dry finish.

Harvested in the cool of the morning & softly pressed. Fermented slowly in stainless steel tanks at cool temperatures to preserve the elegant & refined Sauvignon Blanc aromas. Wonderful aromas of tropical and summer fruits lead to a punchy palate with guava and lime. A classical edgy style delivers beautiful line and length: a true Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc.
