Wijnrecensies
This year’s Estate offering is all about precision. Combining six vineyards in perfect harmony and embracing a full spectrum of Chardonnay’s flavour palette from citrus to peach, this is a more precocious and much more expressive wine than expected. It is one of the finest Kumeu River Estate wines I can recall, and it is virtually ready to drink now!

Aromas of sliced apples and pears with some pie crust and croissant undertones. Medium-bodied with bright acidity and a long and tangy finish. Reserved and poised. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

Buttery croissant aromas, smoky snuffed candle, very complex and charming, the palate medium bodied with good weight and medium length, dry finish, impeccable balance. A remarkable wine at the price, detailed and engaging.

A blend of six vineyards, this already displays charming aromas of yellow-skin apple, nectarine and nashi pear. Firm acidity and a very light textural grip. There's a degree of flesh on the palate but not too much. Drink from 2025-2032. Tasted Aug 2025.

The 2024 Estate Chardonnay is floral and tightly coiled, with a scratched lime backbone. It's not as complex as the Ray's Road tasted alongside, yet it's utterly composed and restrained. It is mineral and very good indeed. This was tasted as a tank sample prior to filtration and bottling.
