Kumeu River Estate Chardonnay 2022
Founded in 1944 by Mick Brajkovich, wife Katé and son Maté, Kumeu River was one of the early pioneers in Auckland, New Zealand, that helped to establish its reputation as a world-class wine region. Still family owned and run, Kumeu River continues to pioneer new frontiers: winemaker Michael Brajkovich became New Zealand’s first member of the prestigious Institute of Masters of Wine, London, and has been testing and championing screw cap closures for close to 20 years.
Hand harvested, whole-bunch pressed, indigenous-yeast fermentation, french oak barrels, 20% new oak, 100% barrel fermentation, 100% malolactic fermentation, and 11 months maturation in barrel.
