Soljans Estate Fifth Generation Series Kumeu Vineyard Chardonnay 2016 $48
This is the debut chardonnay from the Kumeu vineyard of a West Auckland Octogenarian producer, and it’s an absolute star. Celebrating the welcoming of the fifth generation of Soljan family members (Tyler and Amber) into the family business, this 100% handpicked, 100% barrel fermented, 100% malolactic fermented wine absolutely sings with pineapple, roast peach, creme caramel and citrus zest layers. Rich, SO rich! Buttered crumpet characters, freshness and just beautifully-balanced bursts of flavour in every sip. I absolutely love it.
