🍷 2025 Kumeu River Chardonnay Release! 🍷
Few producers have done more to establish New Zealand Chardonnay on the world stage than Kumeu River. For decades, the Brajkovich family has championed a style defined by precision, texture, natural acidity and remarkable longevity, with the estate's single-vineyard wines recognised among New Zealand's finest.
The 2025 vintage has delivered a superb collection, with excellent flavour development balanced by vibrant acidity and freshness. The wines show purity, concentration and texture, while each vineyard expresses its own distinctive personality.
🍇 2025 Mate's Vineyard Chardonnay
The flagship. Deeply complex and beautifully structured, with stone fruit, citrus, spice and flinty minerality. Powerful, refined and built for the cellar.
🍇 2025 Hunting Hill Chardonnay
Elegant and perfumed, with white peach, citrus, floral notes and subtle savoury complexity. Precise, finely textured and energetic.
🍇 2025 Coddington Chardonnay
Generous and expressive, combining ripe stone fruit and citrus with subtle oak and mineral complexity. Rich yet balanced, with excellent freshness.
🍇 2025 Rays Road Chardonnay
Bright and focused, showing citrus and white stone fruit alongside floral, mineral and savoury notes. Vibrant and beautifully precise.
🍇 2025 Estate Chardonnay
A wonderful introduction to the Kumeu River style, combining fresh citrus, white peach and savoury notes with fine acidity and texture.
What makes the Kumeu River range so compelling is the opportunity to explore the different personalities of each vineyard. From the power of Mate's Vineyard to the elegance of Hunting Hill and generosity of Coddington, each wine offers a unique interpretation of Chardonnay.
Alongside the new releases, we also have a small selection of back-vintage Kumeu River wines available, offering a rare opportunity to explore how these exceptional Chardonnays evolve with bottle age.
