91 points Tina Gellie (Decanter): "The Kumeu River team calls this 'a perfect aperitif wine' sourced from the Rays Road vineyard and others in Hawke's Bay along with Kumeu estate fruit. It's a minerally, crisp Chablis style showcasing green apple and crunchy nectarine flavours with lime leaf and verbena nuances. Drink 2023-2027. (09/10/23)."

90 points Wine Spectator: "Crisp and lemony up front, with notes of nectarine and ripe melon that show a touch of Fuji apple. Details of crushed stone minerality and a touch of toasted sesame seed add an appealing savory accent. Drink now. 10,000 cases made, 1,736 cases imported. (10/15/24)."

89 points Rebecca Gibb MW (Vinous): "The 2022 Kumeu Village Chardonnay is a tender and seamless white that flows easily before tying up rather neatly as it reaches its conclusion. It's like an old friend has just opened their door and welcomed you with arms open before they shut the door, with you safely inside. You can expect honeydew melon, pear and even a saline note. It is rather smart on the medium length finish, its components tying up the wine neatly with a flourish. Clean, precise and lively. Drink 2023-2026. (Sep 2023)."
