Crisp, stony, underripe pear, citrus, and peach given a nice mid-palate weight from the presence of some barrique. Totally solid, lucid, approachable

Enjoyable steely Chardonnay but pretty one dimensional. I can’t detect any oak influence despite the quantity matured in barrel. The estate and single vineyard options from Kumeu are orders of magnitude better for not that much higher cost.

Cliffs notes from the back label: sustainably farmed, hand harvested, whole cluster, wild yeast, extended maturation on lees. Bright and lemony, tastes like village style burgundy except it’s from the north Island of NZ. $20.
