2023 Kumeu River Maté’s Vineyard Chardonnay

“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.”

97 Points, James Suckling

“One of New Zealand’s most renowned single vineyard wines, this vintage of Mate’s doesn’t disappoint. Less overtly reductive than the previous vintage, the flinty, struck match notes are certainly present, but they’re beautifully balanced by bright, fleshy lemon and stone fruit, the toasty, creamy nuances adding flesh to bones. The palate combines mouthwatering acidity with a slippery texture. There’s depth of fruit, drive and length. It’s a delicious drop now but will age exceptionally well for well over a decade.”
