    WHITE Wine      
    KUMEU RIVER
An Excellent address for quality Chardonnay wines.

These wines regularly
out-perform Premier and even some Grand Cru  white Burgundies, that sell at many times the price in professional blind tastings.

 

Try a bottle and see for yourself.

Coddington Chardonnay
Kumeu River

Matthew Jukes, MatthewJukes.com, August 2021  -
 Coddington is my pick of the two ‘Premiers Crus’ not least because it is seamless, refined and already completely integrated. This is a sensual wine with wonderful texture and refinement. Sometimes Coddington looks a little light and feeble, by comparison to HH and Maté’s but in 2020 it is a shimmering beauty. In value terms, you are still only matching up to a low-level Saint-Aubin, so this wine, again, aces it against Burgundian competition.

Hunting Hill Chardonnay
Kumeu River

  Jancis Robinson MW, jancisrobinson.com -
 Pale straw. Strong lemon aroma with light smokiness and real lift. Lovely balance and great youth and extremely long. Raciness. This is just a treasure that deserves to be cellared awhile to take full advantage of its potential for complex development. It has the same steeliness but more obvious fruit than in typical fine Australian Chardonnays.

Mate's Vineyard Chardonnay
Kumeu River

  Jancis Robinson MW, jancisrobinson.com -
 Savoury nose suggests a firm backbone. Really concentrated and richer than the Hunting Hill. Long and very youthful. For the moment, it’s a coiled spring with lots to chew on on the finish. Ideally it should be drunk at 9–10 years old but I suspect most of it is hoovered up long before that.
2021 £49.00 JR17.5/20
