2020 Kumeu River Estate Chardonnay 0,75 Liter

The Kumeu River Estate Chardonnay 2020 is an elegant white wine from Kumeu, New Zealand, crafted by the Brajkovich family from six select vineyard sites. This 2020 vintage displays a pale gold hue and a vibrant nose of green apple, lemon zest, and white peach, with hints of almond, vanilla, and subtle chalky minerality. The palate is silky and balanced, with vibrant acidity, a concentrated fruit core, and a citrus-driven finish with a touch of oak complexity. Fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged in French oak barrels (mostly used) for 11 months, this wine showcases the estate’s commitment to quality and terroir. Perfect with seafood, roasted poultry, or creamy cheeses, it offers versatility and sophistication. With excellent aging potential, it will evolve over the next 5-10 years, developing richer, nuttier notes. This Estate Chardonnay is an accessible introduction to Kumeu River’s world-class portfolio, delivering exceptional value and elegance for enthusiasts and casual drinkers alike.
