【Kumeu River】
After arriving in New Zealand in 1938, Dalmatian Mate Brajkovic purchased a small vineyard with his parents in 1944, near the settlement of Kumeu, to the north west of Auckland. After son Michael took over Kumeu River Wines in 1982, the potential of Kumeu River began to be realised, and Kumeu River has now established its reputation as one of New Zealand`s best white wine producers. The estate is particularly renowned for its Chardonnay, and its Kumeu River and Mate`s Vineyard Chardonnay win international acclaim on a regular basis.

Rounded and rich on the entry, with a delicious kiss of French oak and mineral focus on the middle, finishing long, creamy, and biscuity with a fresh acid lift. A very complete wine. Enjoy now to 2030 with your favourite fresh seafood cuisine.
