Tasting Notes
This is terrific value, coming from one of the leading masters of New Zealand Chardonnay. Fine, not oaky, but has been aged in old oak to bring out some extra flavour dimension. Elegant, juicy, mineral. Sensational value.

The Village Chardonnay is from hand-harvested vines in both Kumeu (42%) and Hawke's Bay (58%) planted between 1989 and 2016.'If you have never tried these wines, then it is time you see for yourself what New Zealand is capable.' Neal Martin, Vinous. Kumeu River is considered unanimously to be New Zealand's top Chardonnay producer, and having sold their wines on and off for over 15 years, we are over the moon to have secured a parcel of their latest releases. Established in the 1950s just 20kms north of Auckland, for several decades now the Brajkovich family have fashioned Burgundy-inspired wines that rival their finest old world counterparts - silky, complex, tantalising wines.
