Quite a rich nose with very bright acidity. More palate weight than previous vintages. Good stuff! Already a fine drink. Lime streak. Stony finish. VGV Drinking range: 2023 - 2025 Rating: 16.5 Jancis Robinson OBE MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Sept 2023)

A delicious chardonnay with a sour lemon, cooked apple and grapefruit undertone. Medium body. Tangy and fruity. Drink now. Screw cap. Rating: 92 James Suckling, www.jamessuckling.com (Oct 2023)
The 2022 Kumeu Village Chardonnay is a tender and seamless white that flows easily before tying up rather neatly as it reaches its conclusion. It's like an old friend has just opened their door and welcomed you with arms open before they shut the door, with you safely inside. You can expect honeydew melon, pear and even a saline note. It is rather smart on the medium length finish, its components tying up the wine neatly with a flourish. Clean, precise and lively.

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.
White Christmas Mixed Case
I'm dreaming of a.... delicious white Burgundy - or perhaps it was a racy Sancerre or a spirited white from the Loire? Whatever the case, we have you covered with our White Christmas Case. We've carefully selected half a dozen whites (and included two bottles of each) that will sit quite happily alongside the festive spread and would be sure to brighten up any Christmas gatherings where a bottle may be required.
