Kumeu River Matés Vineyard Chardonnay 2006
About 30% new oak, single-vineyard. The color is lemony-green and the wine has a buttery scent that is very fruited. This vineyard produces 'the best grapes' meaning, it has the oldest vines, and most mature fruit. This is evident in the glass as it has many layers of scent: apricot, dried fruit, hazelnut, fried sage. It remains fresh, though and it is very enticing, French style, terrior-dependent and very good.
