Kumeu River is considered one of the best producers of Chardonnay in New Zealand, and this Estate wine is an obvious example.
The outstanding 2022 harvest followed three consecutive superb vintages, forming a remarkable sequence of four high-quality yields. The Chardonnay blend from the Kumeu vineyards, which plays a significant role in crafting this wine, presents a particularly ripe and peachy flavour profile, making it not only delightful to consume but also possessing the concentration and enduring complexity characteristic of this wine. This Chardonnay is of a refined style and distinguished lineage, showcasing the potential to age as gracefully as its predecessors.
Kumeu River Estate Chardonnay wine manages to impress with the balance between ripe stone fruit notes and well judged oak influence.
Food pairing suggestion: Classic roast chicken, or a creamy monkfish stew.
Did you know? The owner of Kumeu estates, Michael Brajkovic, was the first New Zealander to become a Master of Wine. When taken over the property from his father, Michael has significantly improved the wine-growing and winemaking processes, that resulted in production of some of the best Chardonnays in the world.
