'Sleek and generous, with peach, pear, spice and honey notes, supported by refreshing, vibrant acidity. The spice and toasted nut notes gain momentum on the long, lingering finish.' - Wine Spectator

"Still a Kiwi classic, Kumeu River's 2016 Estate Chardonnay features toasted grain aromas, ripe peach and nectarine flavors and a long, citrus-inflected finish. It's medium-bodied, with a plump, silky texture and up to a decade of aging potential." Joe Czerwinski, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate.

Splendid Chardonnay from NZ. Delicious biscuit and lemony notes followed by apples, ripe peaches and pears. A delight with every sip! - Emma Bristow, OWC
