Mate's vineyard Chardonnay is Kumeu River's flagship wine. It is the original
vineyard whichMaté Brajkovich purchased back in 1944. However, it wasn't until
1993 when the first grapes were harvested from this vineyard, the year
followingMaté's death. Since then, the family have made this wine their premium
label.
An exceptionally concentrated and rich wine, with the perfect balance of
freshness, fruit and minerals. The Mate’s Vineyard is usually the most reserved
and unyielding when young with the nose being closed, just giving hints of peach
and mineral notes that we expect from Mate’s Vineyard.This will be a very long
lived wine.
Highlights
* Hand harvested and whole-bunch pressed
* 100% malolactic fermentation
* 100% barrel fermentation and 11 months barrel maturation

KUMEU RIVER MATE’S VINEYARD CHARDONNAY – 2018 – JAMES SUCKLING – 96 POINTS
"The top-tier chardonnay here is very much in command and has a super rich and
very concentrated feel with deep, ripe-peach and mango aromas with
grilled-grapefruit notes, too. The palate is very rich and ripe, offering a
super fleshy feel with long, rich and layered, stone-fruit flavors. Drink or
hold. Screw cap."
