Elephant Hill Reserve Chardonnay, where exceptional fruit purity, concentration, and complexity take centre stage. This wine isn't just released casually – Elephant Hill only brings out the Reserve Chardonnay when the quality is top-notch. And trust us, they mean business. The folks behind this masterpiece are Roger and Reydan Weiss, the German owners who spare no expense in running this cutting-edge winery along the breathtaking Te Awanga coastline, complete with one of the finest winery restaurants in New Zealand!
With 12 months in French oak (25% new) and that extra five months on lees, this Chardonnay is the epitome of Elephant Hill's commitment to unparalleled quality. Cheers to the Reserve! This is a seriously delicious, richly flavoured Chardonnay that Elephant Hill sums up: "The exceptional fruit purity, concentration, and complexity are the hallmarks of our Elephant Hill Reserve Chardonnay." And here's the exciting part – it will only improve over the next few years. Consider stashing a six-pack in your cellar to enjoy between now and 2026.
