94/100 | Bob Campbell MW, The Real Review
92/100 | Erin Larkin, Wine Advocate - "Utterly composed and very good indeed"

Super Classic that ranks in any conversation of our finest chardonnays. For many commentators, Kumeu River represents the pinnacle of New Zealand Chardonnay production and this is world class wine by any yardstick. The winery says "this vintage is up there with the best Estate Chardonnay we have seen in the past ten years", and we have to agree with that statement.

Tasting Notes

Bob Campbell MW writes "This has a close family resemblance with the three outstanding single-vineyard chardonnays of 2024. Buttery croissant aromas, smoky snuffed candle, very complex and charming, the palate medium bodied with good weight and medium length, dry finish, impeccable balance. A remarkable wine at the price, detailed and engaging."

Erin Larkin writes "The 2024 Estate Chardonnay is floral and tightly coiled, with a scratched lime backbone. It's not as complex as the Ray's Road tasted alongside, yet it's utterly composed and restrained. It is mineral and very good indeed."

The winery writes "The 2024 vintage gave very low yields combined with excellent summer ripening conditions. The Chardonnay it produced is rich and concentrated and up there with the best Estate Chardonnay we have seen in the past ten years. Beautifully fragrant and toasty on the nose the palate is rich and peachy with the hallmark refreshing acidity we expect in the Estate Chardonnay. Layered and complex this wine is quite delicious now but will no doubt benefit from bottle age as have its predecessors."
