2006 Chardonnay Kumeu River

Drawn from ten different vineyard sites from the region. The 2006 vintage was outstanding and this is the finest estate chardonnay we have tasted to date . Ripe, floral and delicious. Peach and hazlenut aromas with a silky texture and refined and elegant. Good now but will age superbly for up to five years or more.
The Wine Advocate - "Lovely Burgundian nose, very minerally with touches of limestone and not a million miles away from Meursault. The palate is beautifully balanced with that minerally component coming through with touches of limestone and white peach on the aftertaste. Drink over 2-3 years. 90 points."
