Kumeu River

Maté's Vineyard Chardonnay

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. — 4 days ago

@Peter van den Besselaar obviously a Delectable error but I wasn’t aware that Kumeu River make a Pinot Noir in any event.

Escarpment Wines

Martinborough Pinot Noir 2018

Light bodied ruby colour 13% alc with good nose of berry flavours, great integrated tannins and good balance of fruit and acidity with quite a long lingering finish
We are fortunate that Australia is flanked by NZ and South Africa and all three have great Pinots that can stand tall with the wines of Burgundy at very affordable price points 🤗
