Although still somewhat shy on the nose, with bottle age the full palette of complex aromas and bouquet of this wonderful wine will be gradually and seductively revealed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProfessional Ratings\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e98James Suckling\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe complexity and subtlety are most impressive, with honeysuckle, white flower, ripe pear, flint and vanilla bean aromas. Medium-bodied with a tight and phenolic texture and a long, tight finish. Lots of layered mouthfeel and complexity. Fantastic finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e97Robert Parker's Wine Advocate\u003cbr\u003e\nThe 2024 Maté's Vineyard Chardonnay is mouthfilling and full, easily the biggest and most powerful of the single-vineyard Chardonnays in this 2024 release. \"In terms of quality, 2024 is up there with the best of them: 2022, 2020, 2014...\" This feels perhaps as statuesque and thrilling as the best of the Maté's so far, with intensity that explodes in every direction on the palate—length and width—with spicy top notes and a thunderous base of yellow fruit. The acidity, as usual, coils and weaves its way across the palate, lacing together the fruit and phenolics with seamless intensity. This is very good.\u003cbr\u003e\nBarrel Sample: 95-97\u003cbr\u003e\n93Wine Spectator\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTheres wonderful tension from the crisp acidity brewing underneath this whites fresh flavors of lemon sorbet, crunchy star fruit and Asian pear, with notes of lemon balm and freshly grated ginger, plus a thread of saline and a touch of green tea.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kumeu River","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53342170251488,"sku":"132041","price":104.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/files\/kumeu-river-chardonnay-kumeu-mate-s-vineyard_1.jpg?v=1783544439","url":"https:\/\/yianniswinery.com\/products\/kumeu-river-chardonnay-kumeu-mates-vineyard-2024-750ml","provider":"Yiannis Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
