Kumeu Village Chardonnay 2024 represents the entry-level offering from the renowned Kumeu River winery, established in 1990. This vintage showcases a precise structure, evident in its mineral-driven backbone. Aromas of lemon zest and subtle stone fruit evolve on the palate, complemented by a refreshing acidity. The winemaking approach remains consistent, with fermentation in a combination of stainless steel and seasoned oak, allowing for the fruit to express its character. Michael Brajkovich MW, New Zealand’s first Master of Wine, continues to uphold the producer`s commitment to quality and authenticity.

The 2024 Village Chardonnay had just been freshly bottled when I tasted it at the estate in Kumeu in March 2025. The other 2024 Chardonnays were tasted as tank samples prior to filtration and bottling soon. The wine leads with yellow citrus and crushed shells. It is texturally fine, sleek and tightly coiled around a core of salty acidity. It is complex but composed and very good.
"2024 was a fantastic year, just very small," says Paul Brajkovich. "Weather during flowering wasn`t good in spring in 2023," says Michael Brajkovich. "Ripening in 2024 was excellent, so we have a 40% down in yield but very high quality. The Village wine is a blend of Kumeu and Hawke`s Bay [and is] a mixture of barrel and tank fermentation."
