TAHUNA
Chardonnay Reserve
The Tahuna Reserve Hawke’s Bay Chardonnay bursts with juicy citrus and ripe stone fruit, layered with subtle almond, hazelnut, and gentle toasty oak. The palate is smooth and balanced, finishing long and fresh. Serve lightly chilled. Enjoy now or cellar for up to six years.

Chardonnay is sourced from Sileni’s Hawke’s Bay vineyards with a range of soil types including gravels, silt and clay loam. The different characteristics of these sites provide depth and complexity of flavour in the wines.
-
Tahuna chardonnay is harvested and pressed, then fermented with French oak to develop complex layers of flavour in a traditional Burgundian style. Following primary and malolactic fermentation, ageing on yeast lees was carried out to mature and soften the wine prior to bottling.
