Kumeu River Chardonnay Estate 2010
White
Kumeu, New Zealand
7.4
WineSaint
Well-balanced and harmonious on the palate with crisp acidity and subtle viscosity that builds complexity with air. Candied stone fruit and almond notes reveal Kumeu River's evolution toward its signature Burgundian style. The finish shows Chassagne-like nuttiness with just enough salinity to lift the fruit. A wine that rewards patience in the glass.
