- This vintage sees the continuation of the Mate's style of Chardonnay, originating from this defined superior vineyard site exhibiting its own nuances and shades of aromas and flavor. The wine was produced in French oak barrels to the same exacting standards as for all of our Kumeu River wines, but the wood is subtle and never dominant. It is a very elegant, perfumed and restrained wine, with delicate yeast, distinct aromas of pears and citrus fruit. The mouth-filling texture and length of flavor mark it as a wine for long-term bottle maturation of four to six years.
