The Kumeu River is a small, cheerful stream that runs through rich farmland just northwest of Auckland. It gives its name to a winery that put Auckland’s wine country on the map with vibrant Chardonnay that still sets the tone for New Zealand. Today, the winery draws from vineyards all across the North Island, but the bright, zesty-yet-creamy core of pure fruit and intense minerality that made the winery famous still runs through every bottle. Kumeu has grown a lot since it was founded in 1944, but all their vineyards are still hand harvested and all their ferments use native yeast. This entry tier Villages bottling has sharp, crystal clear aromas of lemon, green apple, bee pollen, flint, and a light touch of brioche. On the palate, it shows live wire tension and zest, with lemon and lime and apple fruits woven together with gravelly earth and a few sprigs of sage. Approachable now and an easy choice for seafood of every sort, this wine has the acidity to age a few years too.
