Omaka Reserve Chardonnay

A luxurious white wine with a pale yellow color and a piquant taste of lemon and toasted oak.

The grapes come from the southern parts of Marlborough, where the climate is warm and the nights are cooler. After being hand-harvested, the grapes were pressed to preserve the best possible fruit flavours. The wine is then aged in American oak barrels (50% in new barrels, 25% in once-used barrels and 25% in twice-used barrels). It undergoes malolactic fermentation and is then aged for ten months, with regular stirring.

Dry Chardonnay from New Zealand’s Omaka Valley pairs beautifully with roast chicken, grilled seafood or creamy pasta. It also complements milder cheeses such as Brie or Camembert, as well as buttery vegetables like asparagus or roasted pumpkin. Its rich structure and subtle oak notes also make it a good match for veal with a cream sauce.

This family winery, founded in 1994,
is a pioneer in the Marlborough region.
It is now one of New Zealand’s leading
wineries, with award-winning wines year after year.
