Note di degustazione
The 2015 Kupe Chardonnay is the eighth vintage of this superb wine and a very worthy continuation to the range. Showing ripe but restrained fruit, intelligent use of oak and a flinty mineral backbone it is at the pinnacle of the style in New Zealand.

The 2015 Kupe Chardonnay is more tightly knit than the regular bottling, with at least a couple more years of aging potential. Toasted hazelnuts provide an elegant counterbalance to the grapefruity aromas and flavors, while minor notes of grilled white peach, pineapple and baking spices bring complexity, particularly on the long, crisp finish. It's nice to see Larry McKenna's white wines reaching similar heights as his Pinot Noirs.
