Kumeu River Mate's Vineyard Chardonnay 2007

Kumeu, North Island, New ZealandVery nutty, creamy, spicy lees aromas with gun flint, vanilla, honey, peach and melon aromas with a bit of baked pear. Fresh, elegant, juicy palate with honey, clove, butter, spicy lees, nutty, grapefruit and pineapple flavours. Finish is quite dry and austere with lots of fruit and good concentration. Expect this to improve in the bottle through 2015.Tasted: 12 May 2012Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
