Kumeu River Auckland NZ Chardonnay 2003

93/100
An open trellising system, intensive viticulture and sensitive winemaking have produced a string of top wines from an area west of Auckland that is regarded by many as unsuited to high quality Chardonnay production. A typically intense and rather taut wine with power and complexity clearly evident. Good cellaring potential.
