ADD TO FAVOURITES

Only produced in outstanding vintages, Mount Brown Estates Grand Reserve is a Chardonnay of impressive power and class. This Chardonnay packs a flavour punch – ripe grapefruit peel, savoury smoky flavours on a mouth-filling palate. We are fortunate indeed to be able enjoy a locally produced Chardonnay of this quality at what can only be described as a 'bargain price'. A world class Chardonnay full of personality.

Winery notes (2023 Vintage)
"Ripe stonefruit, with vanilla oak aromas. Full bodied, dry with peach flavours and a delicious hint of citrus. Our Chardonnay clones were selected to produce high quality Chardonnay. Low yields, gravel soils and a dry summer brought out the very best of these clones.

Only 160 dozen bottles were made of this outstanding Chardonnay. Gently pressed directly to barrel where it underwent a cool ferment followed by full malolactic fermentation. After that it was allowed to age in barrel for about 15 months (100% French oak barriques)."

Rated Outstanding & 95/100 Cameron Douglas MS, December 2024 (2023 Vintage)
"A generous and enticing bouquet of ripe stone fruits and baking spices of barrel, French vanilla and nutmeg with baked peach and pineapple, then a grapefruit and clay quality. Full-bodied, textured and delicious on the palate. Dry with a backbone of acidity capturing flavours of baked peach and citrus, smoky barrel spices and kitchen spice-cupboard ideas. Well made, delicious and ready to drink from day of purchase through 2029+. Fabulous value."

5 Stars & 95/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, September 2025 (2023 Vintage)
"Complex and gorgeously expressed, the bouquet shows ripe apricot, grapefruit, vanilla, roasted hazelnut, and subtle flinty notes. It's wonderfully weighted on the palate, offering excellent depth and a richly textured mouthfeel, which leads to a persistent and satisfying finish. At its best: now to 2030."

Mount Brown Estates is located in the foothills of Waipara Valley's Mount Brown, in the North Canterbury wine region.

From truly humble beginnings (a small abandoned vineyard overgrown with waist-high weeds), Tony Rutherford and his daughter Catherine Keith have since turned their once-daunting vision into reality, now boasting three award-winning vineyards and a winery.

Mount Brown Estates keeps their whole process—from grape to bottle—in-house, to be able to ensure desired quality standards. This was made possible when they built their winery and bottling line on the Lime Loader vineyard in 2013.
