Kumeu River New Releases

This morning sees the release of the new vintages from top Kiwi estate Kumeu River, whose Chardonnays have captured the hearts of wine lovers the world over. Rivalling the finest white Burgundies for a fraction of the price, we were blown away by the quality of the 2024 Estate and 2024 Rays Road, at our tasting with head winemaker Michael Brajkowich MW. Both cuvées are available at just £95.00 per 6 bottles IB each.  

The 2024 follows a run of small but exquisite vintages from Kumeu River. The Estate Chardonnay comes from Kumeu River vineyards in Auckland, primarily on heavy clay, whereas the Rays Road is from their Hawkes Bay estate, on limestone. 

These wines are not available online please email or call us for details.
