Long Barn Reserve Chardonnay is a classic, refined California Chardonnay — medium to full-bodied, multifaceted, and built with the bright citrus, tropical fruit, and warm buttered bread character that defines the variety at its most generous and crowd-pleasing. Rich, creamy, and designed to savour.

My Wine Man on Long Barn

Long Barn is a California label crafted to deliver the classic, approachable style of Chardonnay that the state does so well — generous fruit, a rich creamy mouthfeel, and the kind of warm, buttery complexity that comes from careful oak maturation and winemaking experience. California Chardonnay at its best is a wine of genuine versatility and crowd appeal: richer and more opulent than cool-climate styles, with the tropical fruit generosity and creamy texture that makes it one of the world's most immediately enjoyable white wine styles. The Reserve tier represents the finest fruit selection available to the winery, vinified with the attention to detail that the label demands.

Tasting Notes

Bright gold in the glass. The nose is inviting and generous — bright citrus and tropical fruit lead, with warm buttered bread and a subtle vanilla oak note adding richness and warmth. On the palate, medium to full-bodied with a rich, creamy mouthfeel, generous tropical and citrus fruit flavours, and an elegant, satisfying finish. Classic, refined California Chardonnay — multifaceted, versatile, and designed to savour.

Style & Drinking Window

Medium to full-bodied with balanced acidity and a rich, creamy finish. Drinking beautifully now — best enjoyed over the next 1–2 years. Serve at 10–12°C. No decanting required.

Food Pairing

The rich tropical fruit and buttered bread warmth of the 2019 Long Barn Reserve Chardonnay make it a generous match for The Bare Bird Premium Free Range Chicken Breast Steak from My Meat Man. The wine's creamy mid-palate and vanilla oak warmth complement the lean, flavourful character of free-range chicken breast steak beautifully — whether grilled with a lemon herb butter, pan-seared with a white wine and mushroom cream sauce, or baked with garlic, rosemary, and a splash of California Chardonnay.
