The diffusion line from one of New Zealand's most celebrated Chardonnay producers, this offers tons more bang for buck than almost every similarly priced white Burgundy, and no less pleasure. Victoria Moore, The Daily Telegraph (Mar 2019)

The 'entry level' Chardonnay from the iconic Kumeu River estate represents stunning value for money. Fermented in a mixture of older French oak barriques and stainless steel, it is a fresher and more immediate style of Chardonnay with bright clean acidity, there is however still some trademark creamy richness that lends itself very well to a nice dinner.L&S (Feb 2019)

Fresh nose with a delicate hint of flint smoke. Really vibrant fruit with a lovely sweetness and a nice soft easily appealing style. Nicely made and excellent-value Chardonnay. Drinking range: 2019 - 2025 Rating: 16 Alistair Cooper MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Dec 2019)

Kumeu River

From the pioneering days to the establishment of the New Zealand wine industry to today, the Brajkovich family have been internationally recognised as producing world class wine. The Brajkovich family continue to harvest their grapes at Kumeu and refine their wine making skills.

The Brajkovichs are nationally recognised as a founding family of the New Zealand wine industry, and the current generation are internationally recognised as producing world class Chardonnay.

Just as the Brajkovich family has grown, so too has the winery itself. Extensions and additions mark the milestones that have seen business adapt and expand over the years. Today, the winery produces around 250,000 bottles annually from 30 hectares of its own vineyards in Kumeu, and another 10 hectares from local growers.
