From the prestigious Kumeu River Estate, this Village Chardonnay is a blend of fruit from Kumeu and Hawkes Bay. 39% of the fermentation was in old french oak barrels, the remainder being in stainless steel tank, resulting in a wine that combines pure, ripe lemon, lime and white peach aromas with delicate, flinty spice. This is a pristine, zesty wine, having medium body and excellent mid palate concentration. The finish is clean and crisp.
