Kumeu Village Chardonnay 2022
- French oak
- Fig & white peach
- Lemon & lime
- Crisp acidity
The 2022 Vintage was another good vintage in which Hawkes Bay fruit made up 55% of the final blend. This includes fruit from our own Rays Road vineyard which gives the wine an extra limestone edginess. The weighty mid-palate shows peachy ripeness along with crisp acid minerality that gives the wine a refreshing cleansing quality.
Produced from grapes grown in Kumeu and Hawkes Bay this wine was fermented 33% in old French oak barriques, and 67% in stainless steel tanks. The barrel fermentation provides some richness but very little oak in influence. Combined with the tank fermentation this allows the vibrant fruit to show through beautifully with lively lime and lemon aromas and a flinty, mineral edginess with hints of fig and white peach.
Food Pairing: This wine is delightful as an aperitif, and even better to drink with fish and shellfish.
