Note di degustazione
The 2007 Maté's Vineyard Chardonnay is concentrated and true to its form. What I have learned from this great tasting at Kumeu River estate is that the vineyard character endures through all seasons. It is inimitable, raw, unbound, serious and intense. Here, the wine shows some caramel and wafer to close.

Deep gold. More diffuse than Hunting Hill and a little sweet rather than concentrated. Just starting to fall apart (JR)
The 2007 Chardonnay Maté's Vineyard is open, pure and full of richly textured Chardonnay. Its impressive yet balanced acidity will make your mouth water. This reflects the slightly cooler season, which led to fresh wines.
The 2007 Maté’s Vineyard Chardonnay has a vivid bouquet with crushed oyster shells sprinkled over yellow stone fruit, nectarine and honeysuckle aromas; just wonderful. The harmonious palate is very well defined with a superb bead of acidity and a slightly honeyed texture. I love the gentle build of this wine, and the way it fans out on the finish with white pepper, lemongrass and orange pith notes. Fabulous. Tasted at the Kumeu River Chardonnay vertical in London.
