2008 Kumeu River Estate Chardonnay Kumeu, New Zealand $38

 

Incredibly generous on the nose considering that I’d only pulled it out of the fridge 10 minutes before. Concentrated aroma’s of peach and hazelnuts with undertones of mushrooms, citrus and flinty minerality. Texture is silky and palate is balanced.

The length is nothing short of unbelievable!

“Few Chardonnays in the world so consistently hit the mark for quality and style as New Zealand’s luxurious standard bearer”. “New Zealand’s best Chardonnay year in and year out…” Kumeu Makes the best, most long lived Chardonnays in New Zealand”- Harvey Steiman, Wine Spectator USA
