Kumeu River

Estate Chardonnay 2020

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. — 4 days ago

A little less concentrated than some of the other Kumeu River wines, but still lively and has that same beautiful lemon cream. — 22 days ago

Kumeu River

Maté's Vineyard Chardonnay

Vintage 2021 | This cuvée impressed me deeply: refinement and elegance, touches of vanilla and butter. Much better than eg mediocre Meursault. Lovely. Thought it was my first time but delectable shows me it is the third (139 and 501 weeks ago). Tonight it stuck me most. Must put some in the cellar. — 8 days ago

Martinborough Pinot Noir 2018

Light bodied ruby colour 13% alc with good nose of berry flavours, great integrated tannins and good balance of fruit and acidity with quite a long lingering finish
We are fortunate that Australia is flanked by NZ and South Africa and all three have great Pinots that can stand tall with the wines of Burgundy at very affordable price points 🤗

@Peter van den Besselaar obviously a Delectable error but I wasn’t aware that Kumeu River make a Pinot Noir in any event.
