Kumeu River Chardonnay Maté's Vineyard 2021
White
Kumeu, New Zealand
5.0
WineSaint
Crystalline and tightly wound, with white peach, crushed limestone and a hint of struck flint. The palate shows remarkable concentration without weight, built on a spine of bright acidity that cuts through subtle oak spice. Demands patience. This has serious aging potential ahead.
