Kumeu River Mates Chardonnay 2023 750ml

Kumeu River Mates Chardonnay 750ml

A single-vineyard icon that is New Zealand Chardonnay at its best! The Mate's is comparable to fine Burgundy in both quality and style, with complexity and mineral acidity integrated seamlessly into it's full-textured body. The West Auckland vineyard itself has gone from a local legend to a world leader thanks to considerable vine age and the mind-boggling expertise of Mate's son, winemaker Michael Brajkovich MW. Drink soon or cellar for a good while.

“This wine celebrates the 30th vintage of Mate's wine. Purity and freshness, complexity and finesse. Floral and mineral, cashew and sweet spice moments. Complexities from on the palate with textures of acidity against the citrus fruit and sweet pith flavours, white fleshed fruits and a touch of grape fruit peel. Pure and silky, A fabulous wine, exciting and textured, lengthy and persistent. An exciting opportunity."
— Cameron Douglas MS

"Rich, slightly buttery chardonnay with nutty oak and yeast lees flavours together with a saline influence. Intense, appealing wine that is mellow and at the same time has a vibrant undercurrent. It would probably benefit from two to three years bottle age."
