Montana Reserve Gisborne Chardonnay 2024

Montana Reserve Gisborne Chardonnay is a classic expression of Gisborne's warm-climate style, opening with a generous medley of stone fruit and citrus aromas lifted by nutty highlights. The palate follows through with ripe apricot, toasted oak and a streak of butterscotch richness, giving the wine real weight and texture without losing its fruit-driven core. This is Chardonnay in its more traditional, fuller-bodied register, built for those who like their whites with a little more depth and generosity. It's an easy match for roast chicken, creamy pasta or other dishes that can stand up to its richer style, and a reliable, well-priced option from one of New Zealand's longest-established wine names.

What the winery says: This classic expression of Gisborne Chardonnay exhibits a medley of stone fruit and citrus aromas on the nose with nutty highlights, which flow through to the palate, well supported by characteristics of apricots, toasted oak and butterscotch flavours.
