Wairau River Chardonnay

Wairau River wines take their name from the river that runs through the heart of the Marlborough wine region. (Wairau is Maori for ‘many waters’). The Rose family were pioneers in planting vines in the 1970’s and after originally selling the grapes to other wineries (like Cloudy Bay) they launched their own label in the early 1990’s.

The nose displays fruitful aromas of nectarine and citrus, complemented by delicate floral and savoury notes. These characters translate generously through the palate with lime, ripe peach and biscuit flavours supported by fine mineral acidity and finely integrated French oak.
