2021 Kumeu River 'Estate' Chardonnay, Auckland

Kumeu River Wines was established in 1944 when Mickael and Katé Brajkovich and their son Maté first came to the small country settlement of Kumeu, about 20 km north-west of Auckland City. The 1980s brought great changes and a move to high quality table wines from varieties such as Chardonnay. In that sense, we can certainly say that the Brajkovich family have been pioneers to the establishment of the New Zealand wine industry and been internationally recognised as producing world class wine. Under the supervision of the first Master of Wine from New Zealand: Michael Brajkovich; they continue to make some of the very best wines in New Zealand, especially their range of Chardonnay, which are simply stunning at every level!Why do we like it?
