Mates Vineyard

Kumeu Chardonnay

The River Mates Vineyard Chardonnay from the Kumeu region is a delightful expression of this classic white varietal. The wine offers a medium body that gracefully supports its vibrant fruit-forward profile. With a balanced acidity that adds a refreshing crispness to each sip, this Chardonnay showcases the essence of the Kumeu terroir. The fruit intensity is moderate, allowing citrus and stone fruit notes to shine through elegantly. A dry finish completes the experience, making it a perfect companion for a variety of dishes or simply savored on its own.

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.
