Chardonnay, Maté’s Vineyard, Kumeu – 2011 – 94+ points – eRobertParker.com
94 points
“The 2011 Mate’s Vineyard Chardonnay exudes gorgeous aromas of honeysuckle, grapefruit essence and peach kernels along with an undercurrent of beeswax, cedar, preserved ginger and jasmine. The elegantly styled, medium-bodied palate offers a great concentration of taut fruit, creamy and toasty layers alongside a well-placed line of uplifting acid to carry it to a long, lively and mineral-laced finish.”
