Description
To meet growing demand and elevate an already outstanding sub $25 Chardonnay, the Brajkovich family acquired a prized, mature vineyard in Raukawa, Hawke’s Bay. These days the Ray’s Road vineyard provides a significant portion of fruit for their iconic value ‘Kumeu Village’ Chardonnay. Staying true to tradition, every grape is handpicked. 100% malolactic fermentation plus over 38% seasoned French oak builds the body, richness, and complexity. The addition of 58% Hawke’s Bay fruit adds luscious mid-palate weight and vibrant stone fruit flavours, while 60% tank fermentation keeps the wine crisp with Chablis-like freshness on the finish. Luscious, balanced, and utterly delicious—this Chardonnay is proof that exceptional value can also be magnificent.
Smells
Fragrant nose of apricots, nectarines, roasted nuts, and subtle mineral notes.
Tastes
Generous & lusciously fruited with a fine creamy texture. Seductive subtle oak with biscuity, brioche lees notes gaining in energy as it culminates in a pure, fresh finish. Classic and stylish, it's ready to drink now or over the next 3+ years. An ideal partner to fish, crustaceans, soups, or goat cheese salad. For optimal drinking pleasure the recommended serving temperature is 10-13 degrees.
