Kumeu River Mates Vineyard Chardonnay 2024
Auckland, New Zealand
97/100 | Erin Larkin, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
"The 2024 Single Vineyard Chardonnays are shining examples of our terroir" - Kumeu River
Considered by many to be New Zealand's finest white wine, and in any conversation of the very finest chardonnay that New Zealand produces, Mates is always approachable in its youth but has a long term proven cellar provenance. A truly exceptional wine from a small but perfectly formed vintage - stock is very limited.

Tasting Notes
The winery writes "The 2024 vintage for Mate’s Vineyard continues the exceptional level of quality from this 35-year-old vineyard. Mate’s Vineyard was the last vineyard we harvested in the 2024 vintage in perfect weather with the low yielding fruit in pristine condition. The resulting wine shows the density, concertation and length that we expect from a terrific Mate’s Vineyard vintage and this year we see an extra crisp lemon acidity. Although still somewhat shy on the nose, with bottle age the full palette of complex aromas and bouquet of this wonderful wine will be gradually and seductively revealed."
Erin Larkin writes "The 2024 Maté's Vineyard Chardonnay is mouth-filling and full, easily the biggest and most powerful of the single-vineyard Chardonnays in this 2024 release. "In terms of quality, 2024 is up there with the best of them: 2022, 2020, 2014..."
