A bigger, buttery Chardonnay with balanced acidity. Medium to high malolactic fermentation that gives out buttered green apple and pear fruit accents.

Bit of a petrol nose. Doesn't smell a bit older than 2014. Floral and ripe fruit, golden with a bit of honey aroma. Acidity is driving, perfectly balanced for the age. Lingers, with retronasal pears and citrus. Another great Chardonnay from Kumeu River, so excited to see it in the US
