Description

- White peach
- Long finish
"Just a touch closed in the first minute then the wine begins to unfurl with dramatic aromas of citrus and cashew, white peach and mineral, honeysuckle and baking spices. The bouquet is soft, fresh, varietal and captivating. On the palate - nothing short of amazing - with a precise and intentional texture of vibrant if not quivering layers of acidity and fruit, spice and oak. Fantastic wine with the perfect measure of oak, a light citrus tang and lengthy finish" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier
Kumeu River Chardonnay is drawn from six different vineyard sites in the Kumeu Region. They are particularly careful in selecting only the very best grapes from these vineyards for their Kumeu River Estate label.
The 2019 vintage was exceptional and has produced the finest Estate Chardonnay that anyone can remember. The Kumeu vineyards that contribute to this wine gave them some magnificent fruit and they had a wide array of options in putting the Estate Chardonnay blend together. The level of citrus fruit complexity, and the layering of aromas and flavours that this wine shows are stunning. This is a quality Chardonnay wine of style and pedigree that is delicious now but has the capability of aging as well as if not better than any of its predecessors.
Food Pairing: Enjoy with a creamy chicken & mushroom risotto or buttery lobster linguine.
