Kumeu River Estate Winery, nestled in the heart of New Zealand’s picturesque Kumeu wine region, is a true gem for wine lovers. With over 75 years of winemaking heritage, this family-owned winery has gathered international acclaim for producing some of the finest Chardonnays outside of Burgundy. Their meticulous attention to detail, combined with a deep respect for the land, allows them to craft wines that are both elegant and expressive.
What sets Kumeu River apart is its dedication to quality, using hand-harvested grapes from sustainably managed vineyards. The winery’s cool, maritime climate allows for a long growing season, resulting in wines with exceptional balance, complexity, and purity of fruit. Their Chardonnays are particularly celebrated for their rich, layered flavours of stone fruit, citrus, and a distinctive minerality, perfectly complemented by subtle oak aging.
Kumeu River’s wines are a testament to New Zealand’s ability to produce world-class wines with a sense of place. All bottled under screwcap (and yes, they still age beautifully).
