Kiwi Chardonnay was put in the news a couple of years back by fine wine merchant Farr Vintners, when they organised a blind tasting of Kumeu River versus some top Burgundies. The Kumeu River came out top. Felton Road is no less of a celebrated producer and this is a delicious example with the same potential to outshine its French rivals if tasted blind. Despite the absence of new oak, but this is still an incredibly complex wine.
Aromas of crisp apples, tea leaves, and an almost spicy, fresh tobacco quality meet you from the glass. It’s got a wonderful structure and texture, with a rich, long and evolving length.
