Product Description
Kumeu River's Estate Chardonnay blends fruit from six vineyard sites around Kumeu in New Zealand, making it the winery's most clonally diverse Chardonnay. The grapes are whole-bunch pressed and fermented in barrel with ambient yeast, then aged 11 months in oak, 20% of it new.
Erin Larkin of the Wine Advocate gave it 93 points: "Here we have yellow peach, sea salt, toasted sage leaf (even bay), quince, fig and white flowers."
Andrii Stetsiuk of JamesSuckling.com scored it 94: "Medium-bodied, with brisk acidity setting the tone, subtle and delicate in feel with crisp freshness running through to a long, precise finish."
