This richly textured, almost Burgundian Chardonnay from renowned New Zealand producer Kumeu River is an excellent addition to their portfolio of award-winning wines. The single vineyard wine from their Coddington Vineyard has a real presence – richly textured, but with refined elegance.
Expect concentrated ripe stone fruits and caramelised hazelnuts balanced by bright acidity and a crystalline minerality that nods its head to the surrounding Tasman sea. Utilising indigenous yeasts with extended lees ageing and malolactic fermentation, the Coddington Single Vineyard is a masterful expression of Chardonnay from a monumental winemaking team.
Drinking window: 2024 - 2030
What the critics say:
"Gentle notes of toasted grain mark the nose of the 2018 Mate's Vineyard Chardonnay, framing ripe pineapple and white peach aromas. There's a hint of bacon fat too. On the medium-bodied palate, the wine is slightly custardy and silky, while at the same time, it's crisp and focused, tightening on the finish into a coiled spring of citrus zest. Like most vintages of Mate's, this ideally needs a couple of years in the cellar to fully express itself."
