Kumeu River, Mates Vineyard Chardonnay other_regions_australia Here the nose plays right

Here the nose plays right on the edge of exoticism with its notes of fresh white and yellow orchard fruit

Love the tension here

The 2012 Pinot Noir Mills Vineyard comes from 26-year-old own-rooted vines and was harvest September 20 to October 17

the lasting impression is not overly astringent

– I know I can make one at the highest level – but my story

Kumeu River, Mates Vineyard Chardonnay other_regions_australia Here the nose plays rightVery rich and serious on the nose nuts, nectarines and honeycomb. A mouth filling vinous palate, with mouth watering acidity and a chalky stony note. It grows in the mouth and gets fuller and fuller but always refreshing with it. Just great concentration of fruit and such length a joyous wine. Not often I would call a wine at this price good value, but this is for sure! GV (AC)
