Information:

Kumeu River Chardonnay is drawn from six different vineyard sites in the Kumeu Region. We are particularly careful in selecting only the very best grapes from these vineyards for our Kumeu River Estate label.

The excellent 2022 vintage came on the heels of three others, in a magnificent chain of four superb quality harvests. The Kumeu vineyards that contribute to this wine gave us a blend of Chardonnay that is particularly ripe, peachy and not only delicious to drink. But also has the concentration and lingering complexity that we expect from this wine. This is quality Chardonnay wine of style and pedigree that we know has the capability of aging as well as any of its predecessors

Wine making:

Hand harvested Whole-bunch pressed Indigenous yeast fermentation 100% barrel fermentation 100% malo-lactic fermentation 11 months maturation in barrel.

Description:

"Still a Kiwi classic, Kumeu River's 2016 Estate Chardonnay features toasted grain aromas, ripe peach and nectarine flavors and a long, citrus-inflected finish. It's medium-bodied, with a plump, silky texture and up to a decade of aging potential."

- Joe Czerwinski, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate.

【酒仕🍷酒莊】
💁🏻‍♂️ Kumeu River Estate是紐西蘭最好的酒莊之一，以釀造世界一流的葡萄酒而聞名，當中又以Chardonnay 最為出名。Mate Brajkovich及其家人於1938 年抵達紐西蘭，1944 年Mate Brajkovich大膽地購買了距離Auckland不遠的一個小農場和葡萄園，並建立了莊園。

💁🏻‍♀️ 在接下來的時間酒莊慢慢建立起葡萄酒的聲譽，到了 20 世紀 70 年代末，酒莊開始種植紐西蘭還未有人開始種植的Chardonnay 及 Pinot Noir。特別強調帶出Chardonnay 的優雅和精緻。

💁🏻‍♂️ 如今，Kumeu River 在 Kumeu 擁有 30 公頃的葡萄園，所有葡萄均由人手採摘，並整串壓榨，更加使用本土酵母，以帶出風土。
