Kumeu River Estate Chardonnay 2024

Buttery croissant aromas, smoky snuffed candle, very complex and charming, the palate medium bodied with good weight and medium length, dry finish, impeccable balance. A remarkable wine at the price, detailed and engaging. Drink date: 2025-2033. Score – 94. (Huon Hooke, therealreview.com, Sept. 9, 2025)
