Maté's Vineyard Chardonnay 2022, Kumeu River - 98pts James Suckling
£69.95 per bottle
13% ABV
"Gorgeous precise aromas of apples, white peaches, some minerals, flint and stone. Subtle mangoes, too. Full-bodied but so intense and driven with a salty undertone and a driving finish. Some white pepper at the end with citrus skin. Focused and intense. Great finish. Better after 2026 but already fantastic. Drink or hold. Screw cap."
98/100
