{"product_id":"2024-kumeu-river-estate-chardonnay","title":"2024 Kumeu River Estate Chardonnay","description":"\u003cp\u003eKumeu River’s Estate Chardonnay has long been the calling card for New Zealand’s most celebrated Chardonnay producer - and in 2024, it’s the best it’s been in a decade. Drawn from six carefully selected vineyards around Kumeu, it’s the purest snapshot of what this region and this family can do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe season delivered tiny yields but perfect ripening weather, giving fruit with both richness and laser-cut precision. Wild-fermented in French oak and left to rest for 11 months, it’s fragrant with white peach, grilled citrus and a gentle toastiness. The palate is layered and peachy yet charged with refreshing acidity, carrying the wine long and clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s the kind of wine that’s equally at home poured now with a roast chicken as it is resting in the cellar for five or six years. Pound for pound, this remains one of the greatest Chardonnay buys in the Southern Hemisphere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e90-92 points \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"The 2024 Estate Chardonnay is floral and tightly coiled, with a scratched lime backbone. It's not as complex as the Ray's Road tasted alongside, yet it's utterly composed and restrained. It is mineral and very good indeed. This was tasted as a tank sample prior to filtration and bottling.\"\u003cbr\u003e- Erin Larkin (The Wine Advocate)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","brand":"Kumeu River","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56141719863668,"sku":"zfj1789956738796","price":24.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/5613\/8100\/files\/2024-kumeu-river-estate-chardonnay_1.png?v=1789956741","url":"https:\/\/petcameramon.shop\/products\/2024-kumeu-river-estate-chardonnay","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
