Kahurangi Estate Four Barrels Premium Reserve Pinot Noir 2019

Kahurangi Estate is a proud family-owned and operated winery located in the stunning Nelson wine region.

Each bottle we craft is a genuine expression of the land, capturing the unique qualities of this vibrant area. Our passionate team, dedicated to viticulture and winemaking, works diligently to ensure that every wine we produce meets the highest standards of quality.

We gather grapes from various sites across the Nelson region, including the Waimea Plains with its rich alluvial soils and the Moutere Hills known for their intense clay loams. Nelson’s cool maritime climate enables us to create distinctive wines, while Motueka soils, coastal breezes, and ample sunshine hours provide an ideal setting for developing expressive, aromatic varietals.

Starting with a warm spring, it continued on through a long, hot, and very dry summer and autumn, resulting in superb, clean, ripe fruit packed with intense flavors perfect for making sensational wine. One of Nelson’s finest vintages, our Four Barrels Pinot Noir came from three of our growers' vineyards on the Moutere hills and Waimea Plains.

Fermented in predominantly French oak barriques with a small portion in American oak barriques for 12 months. After extended barrel aging, we carefully bottle and cellar for a further two years before release.

Complex aromas of mixed baking spices and red berries, there’s a dry stone earthy quality with a touch of wood smoke and bacon. Nice weight and youthful tension on the palate with flavours of fresh and baked cherry, strawberry and baking spices from cinnamon to cedar and clove. Tannins layer in texture and mouthfeel and acidity provides frehness and contrast. The fruit flavours and decent structure will allow this wine to age and develop, plus it is immediately food friendly. Nice complexity and length with best drinking from early 2023 through 2030
