Kumeu River Estate Chardonnay 2024
"Aromas of sliced apples and pears with some pie crust and croissant undertones. Medium-bodied with bright acidity and a long and tangy finish. Reserved and poised.
Drink or hold" James Suckling, Jamessuckling.com
"The peachy stone fruit and nougat characters shine, classic for this famed Auckland Chardonnay house. There some ginger, a lick of salt and toast; it’s soft around the edges while still being bright, even pretty. Lovely shades of both light and dark on the generous palate with softly toasty underbelly and a salted citrus acidity that meanders rather than runs to the finish line" Christine Pickard, Wine Enthusiast
"The 2024 Estate Chardonnay is floral and tightly coiled, with a scratched lime backbone. It's not as complex as the Ray's Road tasted alongside, yet it's utterly composed and restrained. It is mineral and very good indeed. This was tasted as a tank sample prior to filtration and bottling" Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Kumeu River Chardonnay is drawn from six different vineyard sites in the Kumeu Region. We are particularly careful in selecting only the very best grapes from these vineyards for our Kumeu River Estate label.
