Astonishing quality for their regular Estate bottling - not their individual vineyard Cuvées like Mates etc. Toasty, nutty (oak derived) notes along with yellow peach. M+ intensity on the palate. Not for long keeping but a great drink right now.

Omg I luv it! Quite simple flavor profile of lemon cream tart, but absolutely nails the structure. Such elegance, nerves, curves, and depth of flavor ❤️

A blend made from the leftovers of the six single vineyards bottlings of Kumeu. Striking reductive nose of a high end Burgundy chardonnay. The palate is ok with some bitters and muffled acidity. It can use a little bit extra cellar time to round out. Excellent value at 25 euro.
Edit: on day two this came around very nicely, so up from 92 to 94. Just needs more time

Nice and crisp, yellow apples and limes. A little stone and perhaps a bit reductive. Nice clean Chardonnay but not super unique.
