2015 Estate Chardonnay, Kumeu River, Auckland New Zealand (12 x Bottle)
The 2015 Estate Chardonnay is more open-knit and less taut than the single vineyard wines, with an expressive nose of ripe nectarines, pink grapefruit and guava, plus underlying notes of baking bread and ginger. Medium-bodied, it offers richness and good depth in the mouth with a an approachable, refreshing backbone and great harmony.

Vinous
The 2015 Estate Chardonnay shows a little funk on the nose, a slight whiff of Brie dissipating with time to reveal attractive scents of brioche, almond, grilled hazelnut and a touch of peach skin. The well-balanced palate offers citrus peel, a light tang of marmalade and a light saline note toward the finish, though this is not as pronounced as the 2016 Estate Chardonnay. However, I admire the cohesiveness and depth to this 2015 even if it might not be as long-term as the two succeeding vintages. Tasted at the Kumeu River Chardonnay vertical in London.
