The winery is particularly careful in selecting only the very best grapes from these vineyards for the Kumeu River Estate label. Estate Chardonnay is the best expression of the Kumeu region’s unique microclimate and it’s impact on the vineyards, creating a distinct, elegant and focused style of Chardonnay.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.robertparker.com\/wines\/fjuNmrBQmBnrhbCJm\/kumeu-river-rays-road-chardonnay-2022\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.robertparker.com\/wines\/Yj44RF4xDj4tdBzkT\/kumeu-river-estate-chardonnay-2023\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e91 points Robert Parker\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 2023 Estate Chardonnay leads with preserved citrus, white flowers, crushed nuts and brine. In the mouth, the wine is light and lacy—hints of green apple, nectarine and a little tangerine—with taut acidity that vibrates through the ethereally weighted fruit. It's a light iteration of this wine and lovely for it. It was made with handpicked fruit, whole-bunch pressed and barrel fermented using indigenous yeasts. 12.5% alcohol's sealed under screw cap. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.robertparker.com\/author\/fiN2tTNbNZoSSh3s3\"\u003eErin Larkin\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"mt-3xs header-3 font-serif\"\u003eJancis Robinson | 16.5+ Points\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cblockquote class=\"mt-[7px] -sm:hidden -sm:invisible\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Distinctly lemon nose and mouth-filling.
