Product Description
Kumeu River bought this limestone hillside in Hawke's Bay, New Zealand, in 2017 and has since replaced its Sauvignon Blanc with Chardonnay. Dry-farmed at 180 metres on a north-facing slope, the vines yield fruit that is hand-harvested, whole-bunch pressed and fermented with wild yeast in older French oak barrels.
James Suckling scored it 96 points: "Aromas of crushed stone and flint with subtle apple and transparency on the nose. Medium-bodied, with a solid core of fruit and a long, tangy finish."
