A fresh and beautifully balanced Chardonnay, the 2025 Kumeu Village Chardonnay opens with aromas of ripe peach, citrus and green apple layered with notes of white flowers and subtle toasted almond. On the palate it is medium-bodied and vibrant, combining bright orchard fruit with crisp acidity and a refined, lightly creamy texture. Hints of lemon zest, brioche and mineral notes linger through the clean, refreshing finish. Pairs well with roast chicken, grilled fish, creamy pasta and soft-ripened cheeses.
