2016 Kumeu Village Hand Harvested Chardonnay, Kumeu River

Expressions of bright citrus and grapefruit that are verging on astringent. There are gently integrated oak characters supporting and balancing the flinty minerality and a bracing finish. Drink 2018-2020.

(New Zealand Chardonnay Panel Tasting, February 2018 – Highly Recommended)

Panel tasting in the February 2018 edition of Decanter magazine.
