Nouvelle Zélande Kumeu River Village Chardonnay 2021

The wine

This Chardonnay comes from six different vineyards in the Kumeu region. The domain was inspired by great Burgundy crus to make this wine. So, it was aged in oak barrels and perfectly unfurls the typical notes of its grape variety and its vinification. We therefore find notes of very ripe yellow fleshed fruit and citrus fruit mixed with those of toasted bread. This wine will pair beautifully with white meat, grilled fish or cream-based dishes.

About the Producer Kumeu River

Located in the northern part of New Zealand, the domain belongs to the Brajkovitch family which undeniably contributes to the worldwide renown of the country's wines. Passionately working with Chardonnay, it has about thirty hectares of vines on clay and sandstone soil. The work is done meticulously both in the vines and in the cellar, and, to a certain extent, the wines produced remind us of Burgundy crus.
