Kumeu River Village Chardonnay 2007

2/3 fermented in stainless and 1/3 in old oak barrels in the style of Chablis and Macon. The scent is a little grassy (Think cut wheat the has been in the sun, drying) with a gala apple, buttery maybe tarte-tatin nose. Very cool-climate grown, you can tell by the fresh taste and good acidity. 100% malolactic fermentation, but spends 2-3 months on lees.
