Tasting Notes
We love half bottles. Not only does it mean you get to taste more wines in a sitting, the bottles also age a lot quicker, which means you don't have to wait as long. Kumeu River Chardonnay is among the best New Zealand has to offer. It's tightly wound acidity, complex mouthfeel and balanced weight is perfect to put down in the cellar. The best part is that wew've already done the hard yards for you and this beauty is ready to drink now. Integrated and round with notes of honey and cooked almonds with a beautiful presence of acidity. Get it while it lasts! - Chris L
The Brajkovich family and Kumeu River Wines is a story that parallels the New Zealand wine industry. From the pioneering days to the establishment of the New Zealand wine industry to today, the Brajkovich family have been internationally recognised as producing world class wine. The Brajkovichs are focused on and internationally recognised as producing world class Chardonnay.
Kumeu River Wines encompasses 30 hectares of vineyards, which are predominantly clay soils overlying a sandstone base. These soil types retain sufficient water at depth, even during the summer months, to ensure the deep vine roots continue to hydrate the vine without excessive vigour. Therefore, the vineyard doesn’t require irrigation, a factor that is critical to the quality of Kumeu River’s grapes.
The vineyards are trained on a ‘Lyre’ trellis to help optimise exposure to light and increase grape maturity and quality. One of the distinguishing factors of Kumeu River’s wines is all of the grapes are harvested by hand. This allows the opportunity to remove sub-standard grapes by hand; the result is a net yield of purely high-quality grapes. - Winery Note
