Heiner Lobenberg om:
Mate's Vineyard Chardonnay 2024

98+
/100

En begivenhed! Den bedste Chardonnay i New Zealand? Ved siden af eller endda foran Dog Point, helt sikkert. I hvert fald nummer 1 på Nordøen. Kort liggetid, presning af hele klaser, spontan gæring. Gæret og modnet i fransk træ, minimal batonnage. Rig frugt, fersken, nektarin og mango, meget rig og fyldig og alligevel elegant som en Puligny-Montrachet. Vibrerende smag, allehåndepeber med rig, saftig frugt, nødder igen, mineralsk, salt længde. Stilfuld Chardonnay, smukt stram, fremragende definition.

Galloni om: Mate's Vineyard Chardonnay

Winemaker Michael Brajkovich, MW, does it again with the 2024 Chardonnay Maté's Vineyard. It is super young and not ready for the grand reveal, but you can’t mistake class, no matter its age. Aromatically, the 2024 is hardly expressive, but this is Chardonnay, so calm your jets—beeswax and honeydew melon for now. The palate is compact and firm, yet it holds a wealth of density at its core. The vintage was a small crop due to poor flowering, so there’s a whole lot of intensity to this. In some years, Hunting Hill challenges Maté’s for top spot, but this year, Maté’s steps up the seriousness level. It leaves you saying, “Now we’re talking.” This is not a wine about fruit, it’s about power and sapidity, grip and karate kicks. It has everything: silken texture and succulence, but it’s nicely pared back. Supremely balanced.

Suckling om: Mate's Vineyard Chardonnay

The complexity and subtlety are most impressive, with honeysuckle, white flower, ripe pear, flint and vanilla bean aromas. Medium-bodied with a tight and phenolic texture and a long, tight finish. Lots of layered mouthfeel and complexity. Fantastic finish. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

Parker om: Mate's Vineyard Chardonnay

The 2024 Maté's Vineyard Chardonnay is mouthfilling 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..." This feels perhaps as statuesque and thrilling as the best of the Maté's so far, with intensity that explodes in every direction on the palate—length and width—with spicy top notes and a thunderous base of yellow fruit. The acidity, as usual, coils and weaves its way across the palate, lacing together the fruit and phenolics with seamless intensity. This is very good.

Kumeu River

Kumeu er en lille by og også en underregion af Aucklands vindyrkningsregion. Regionen blev oprindeligt bosat af kroatiske immigranter, som ofte kom fra vinbondefamilier. Men først og fremmest betyder maori-ordet Kumeu "god frugt". Med andre ord gode betingelser for en vinregion.
