Mate's Vineyard

2006 Kumeu Chardonnay

Kumeu River Mate's Vineyard 2006 is a stunning expression of Chardonnay from the picturesque Kumeu region in New Zealand. This white wine showcases a full-bodied character with a delightful balance of bright acidity that invigorates the palate. It presents a prominent fruit intensity, featuring enticing notes of ripe stone fruits, complemented by a subtle creaminess derived from careful winemaking techniques. The mouthfeel is enriched by well-integrated, medium tannins that add a touch of structure without overpowering the fruit. This wine is beautifully dry, allowing the complexity of flavors to shine through and leaving a lasting impression of elegance and finesse. A true testament to the incredible potential of Kumeu Chardonnay, this vintage invites you to savor and appreciate its remarkable depth and craftsmanship.

New Zealand

New Zealand is one of the most isolated countries on Earth, and the small country surprised everyone when its crisp, focused wines began impressing critics in the 1990s. New Zealand first made its impact on the wine world with Sauvignon Blanc from the picturesque Marlborough region. Zingy, floral and herbaceous, these mouthwatering Sauvignon Blancs thrilled wine lovers. Pinot Noir is another success story here, becoming blissfully elegant with beautiful cherry aromas in regions like Central Otago and Wairarapa. While Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir star in New Zealand, stunning whites like Riesling, Pinot Gris and Chardonnay, and complex reds such as Syrah and Merlot, also find a welcome home in this beautiful and rugged land.
