Kumeu River is a well-regarded New Zealand winery situated in close proximity to Kumeu, a town located 25 kilometres northwest of central Auckland. The estate has gained recognition for its Chardonnay wines crafted in the Burgundian style, offering a range of distinct expressions. This specific bottling hails from the bountiful 2022 vintage, which proved to be an exceptional year for winemakers in New Zealand. Kumeu River completed an early harvest in mid-March, resulting in Chardonnay fruit of outstanding quality and purity.

Vinous
The 2022 Chardonnay Estate is calm, its shoulders are down and its almost succulent in its personality as it makes it debut in your mouth. The acidity is gentle, particularly when compared with the nervosity of 2021. There's a fine textural character that could well be tannin that keeps this giving and leaves you licking your lips. Flavors of nectarine, clove and vanilla-like oak notes make for a rather festive finish (20% new oak). The nectarine-infused length persists making this one that'll slip down easily over the next 3-5 years at the very least.
