  Lovely burgundany style, could be mistaken for a Mersault. Slight lemony undercurrent. Rich fruit but still taut and not flabby. Would wxpect to get better

  Excellent New World Chardonnay more burgundy than NZ. Nose is apple, toasted oak, and citrus. Palate confirms the nose with a long almost sweet finish. I love Kumeu River wines haven’t had one I didn’t enjoy. 93 points. Excellent New World Chardonnay more burgundy than NZ. Nose is apple, toasted oak, and citrus.

  Classy nose of creamy peaches with floral aromatics and buttered toast. The fruit feels progressed from my last bottle, now showing more honeyed. The tension and focus on the palate is wonderful, with elegant balance and perfect density through to a huge, silky smooth, vibrating finish. The finish lingers, leaving gum-coating layers on the palate as you progress through the bottle. Superb. 95+
