Kumeu River Estate Chardonnay 2020, Auckland

Instantly appealing with aromas of ripe fruit and lees, very pretty and quite floral. There's an oyster shell like fragrance, saline and mineral. Delicious, fresh, ripe and complex. A wine with layers of ripe citrus and apple, white peach. A fine lees adds to the mouthfeel and length. Silky texture, fine appealing acidity, very lengthy and fine. Drinking well now and through 2026+. Punches above weight and style for value and appeal. Easily the best Estate expression produced.
