See previous Delectable notes for this 2020 Estate. Amazing quality for the price. This is the basic Kumeu Estate Chardonnay before you consider the individual Cuvées like Mates, Coddington etc. peachy stone fruit intensity on the palate with enough acidity to keep it fresh. Should be an annual purchase. Have the last one later this year or early 2026. The Village is even less expensive at only $21.50 AUD. — 13 hours ago

A little less concentrated than some of the other Kumeu River wines, but still lively and has that same beautiful lemon cream. — 19 days ago

Mind blowing wine right here! Can’t believe how much it improved since the last time I cracked one open. One of best wines I’ve had all year. — 6 months ago

Vintage 2021 | This cuvée impressed me deeply: refinement and elegance, touches of vanilla and butter. Much better than eg mediocre Meursault. Lovely. Thought it was my first time but delectable shows me it is the third (139 and 501 weeks ago). Tonight it stuck me most. Must put some in the cellar. — 5 days ago

Nicely fruity New Zealand Syrah, in addition to blackberry and smoky aromas and flavors, also shows some bacon fat notes and some solid structure, rich and complex, long, lingering finish, very fine!! — 3 months ago
