Montana Reserve Gisborne Chardonnay (750ml) is a beautifully expressive, generous white wine that celebrates the rich winemaking heritage of one of New Zealand's most iconic and historic labels. Sourced entirely from the sun-drenched vineyards of Gisborne—long heralded as the Chardonnay capital of New Zealand—the Montana Reserve range selects premium grapes to showcase the absolute finest regional and varietal characteristics. The result is a remarkably smooth, rich, and mouth-filling Chardonnay that perfectly captures the warm, fruit-forward style that has made Gisborne famous.
Heritage Winemaking & Decadent Oak Balance
The name Montana first appeared on New Zealand shelves in the 1940s, inspired by the majestic mountains surrounding its original vineyard. Every bottle of the Reserve range is built on that proud heritage, stepping up the quality to deliver a more concentrated and complex style than their standard range. Meticulous fermentation techniques and a highly measured use of oak barrel maturation allow the vibrant coastal fruit to integrate seamlessly with savory elements, creating an incredibly satisfying, multi-layered texture.
Tasting Notes
  • Aroma: Highly expressive and invitingly warm. The nose opens with an attractive medley of ripe yellow stone fruit and zesty citrus aromas, beautifully underscored by delicate nutty highlights and toasted oak.
  • Palate: Full-bodied, fleshy, and incredibly smooth on the tongue. It treats the mouth to a succulent core of sweet apricots and golden peaches, seamlessly integrated with a plush mid-palate structure.
  • Finish: Long, comforting, and beautifully balanced. It concludes with a satisfying trail of sweet toasted wood spice, vanillin oak, and a distinctive, velvety wave of rich butterscotch.
