Kumeu River Chardonnay Estate 2014

WineSaint

Rich stone fruit and citrus zest drive this beautifully textured Chardonnay. The palate shows impressive weight without heaviness, while judicious oak treatment brings depth through toasted hazelnut and vanilla bean. Strikes an appealing balance between immediate charm and underlying structure. Drinking beautifully now.
