Kumeu River Mate's Chardonnay 2023

Our Verdict

 New release of undoubtably one of New Zealand’s best white wines.

"Very steely and floral, with brightness and impressive aromas of honeysuckle, lemongrass and just a touch of cream. Medium- to full-bodied with layered and creamy phenolics that give a lovely, almost velvety texture to the wine, and then the end is so crisp and minerally. Driven at the end. Needs time to come together. This will be so complex in three to four years. Best after 2027." 97 Points - James Suckling
