Complex Burgundian styling with good oak treatment, excellent acidity, and balance. Notes of toasted nut, lemon curd, subtle tropical fruit, lemon, and mineral

Excellent partner to homemade Alaskan spot shrimp Alfredo, in the great oak/acid balance. Kumeu is great with further age, but couldn’t resist the screw cap on a Wednesday.
