“Firm, tight-knit nose; the oak is quite obvious now. Very firm and elegant. Young but should develop. Brisk acidity.”

“One of New Zealand’s icon Chardonnays, the 2007 version of Maté’s is a smoky, bacon-scented offering, with plenty of leesy richness to go with bold pineapple and melon fruit. It’s full bodied, ending on notes of smoke and roasted coffee.”

“Juicy and minerally with intensity and high-toned acidity; citrus, toast and some weight; pure and racy, long and complex.”

“Bright and sleek, with zippy lime and grapefruit coursing through the pear and pineapple fruit, lingering on the expressive finish with finesse.”
