See previous Delectable notes for this 2020 Estate. Amazing quality for the price. This is the basic Kumeu Estate Chardonnay before you consider the individual Cuvées like Mates, Coddington etc. peachy stone fruit intensity on the palate with enough acidity to keep it fresh. Should be an annual purchase. Have the last one later this year or early 2026. The Village is even less expensive at only $21.50 AUD. — 2 days ago

True to the region. Nice bouquet with flavors of green apples and honey dew. Good finish. Maybe a bit sour in the middle. — 11 days ago

This is the third bottle each two years apart and this opened very nicely after about an hour or so
I’ve increasingly liked this wine although given it the same rating
It’s well structured aromatic and just an all round good expression of well made Central Otago Pinot
Probably open the next three each with a year or less further age — 10 days ago

Pale lemon with pronounced aromas of grapefruit, guava, and passionfruit. Herbal notes of green bell pepper, grass, and jalapeño, with hints of white pepper and lychee. Lime and melon are noticeable on the palate.

Dry with a medium body and high acidity, it is well-balanced with a long and zesty finish. A youthful and vibrant Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc.

Passion fruit and fresh cut grass aromas.
Medium body, crisp.
Passion fruit, grapefruit, and grassy flavors with light minerality. Bright acidity without being too tart. Excellent wine.
Partly aged in oak barrels, but not okay.

Nice, young, tight knit. Light on Franc herbaceousness, but firm and fine in its structure. Best in 1-5 years from now. — 4 days ago

9.1

2023 - Now owned by LMH the style has somewhat reverted to the herbaceous style of the 90s that made it famous, so pleasant surprise- citrus, melon, lime, and grasses- like it
One of the earlier ratings is 10 and several 7.2, so overall rating is skewed to lower side
Delectable needs to eliminate these outliers to make average ratings meaningful — 20 days ago
