Tasting Notes
The wine that built Kumeu River's reputation, produced from 6 vineyards. The 'Estate' Chardonnay is one of the finest values in the world, it's a wonder that it is still so well priced for a wine of this quality. Jancis Robinson, who has always been a fan, wrote of the 2021, "A fair copy of a fine Chassagne! Good value" Jancis Robinson MW

"If you have never tried these wines, then it is time you see for yourself what New Zealand is capable of." 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 outstanding 2020s. Estabalished in the 50s 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 that have gained the favour of just about every wine journalist and MW worth their salt.
