The Kahurangi Estate story

Welcome to Kahurangi Estate

Kahurangi Estate is a New Zealand family owned boutique vineyard specialising in hand-made wines. The vineyard was first established in the early 1970’s and has some of the oldest commercial vines in the South Island. The Day family purchased the vineyard in 1998 and changed the name to Kahurangi Estate.

 

 
FEATURE WINE ~ Dolcetto 2012

New Release

We welcome a new varietal into our family of wines, our very first Dolcetto!

Picked from a single vineyard in the Waimea Plains with intensive crop management. Initial fermentation in open fermenters with hand plunging every day for 4 weeks then placed into old oak barrels for maturation giving this wine lovely bright red hues, complimented with a fragrant aroma and a palate of rich cassis and raspberry with a delicate, dry structure on the finish.
