Descrição

O clima fresco que proporciona a influência do Mar da Tasmânia e do Oceano Pacífico, em conjunto com o tipo de solo no qual foram cultivados os vinhedos, proporcionam um branco com uma acidez crocante e toques salinos muito característicos. O seu envelhecimento em barricas confere-lhe notas de fumo.

The Wine Advocate:

Maté's is usually the tightest, most linear of the KR Chards, and that's again the case. The 2016 Mate's Vineyard Chardonnay is marked by smoky new oak, but there's also pineapple and grapefruit notes that create a crisp, acidic spine. Draped off of that are hints of white peaches, roasted hazelnuts and tangerine. There's an almost briny zestiness to the lingering finish that sets it apart from the winery's other single-vineyard bottlings.

James Suckling:

This great chardonnay is just beginning to give its best. Cool and very fresh with lemon-blossom and lemon-curd character, married to considerable richness and animating acidity, this proves that New Zealand can play in the global chardonnay first league. Super fresh finish. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
