2023 Kumeu River Estate Chardonnay NZ

From: $45.00

2023 Kumeu River Estate Chardonnay NZ – The Kumeu River Estate range of wines are made from a selection of the better sites they have in Kumeu and represent the benchmark of quality that they can achieve. Kumeu River Estate Chardonnay is drawn from six different vineyard sites in the Kumeu Region. The Kumeu vineyards that contribute to the Estate Chardonnay gave them some magnificent fruit. 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.

Careful selection in 2023 was crucial in maintaining the quality and high standard of the Estate Chardonnay that they have set themselves for over 35 years. Due to the lighter vintage the alcohol is a moderate 12.5% and no new oak was used in the vinification of this wine. There was a high proportion of 1 & 2 year old barrels and this has provided a beautiful balance to the Chardonnay which is a little more citrus in 2023 rather than peachy. The wine begins with a fragrant lemon aroma with hint of white peach. The palate silky and balanced with a lovely citrus finish. Delicious now but, as always, benefits from bottle age of 4-6 years.
