Simply stunning Chardonnay at this price and comparable to a good village Burgundy. No Chardonnay from Kumeu River has ever been rated at less than 90 points by the Wine Spectator magazine. The oak is well integrated and enhances the wine to give an elegant, broad style. If you normally avoid Chardonnay try this - I assure you will be hooked. Recently awarded 85 points by the Wine Advocate.
