"We believe this to be the finest Village Chardonnay we have made" Paul Brajkovich
top 100 wines for summer: Metro Magazine
The 2009 vintage provided us with Chardonnay of real purity and finesse across all of our vineyards. The wines are supple, refreshing and beautifully concentrated. The Village wine from 2009 benefited from the decision to leave the hard press portion of our Chardonnays out of the Village wine. As a result the 2009 Village Chardonnay is particularly supple with a very fine texture that makes the wine delicious to drink.
This wine was fermented 1/3 French oak barriques, and 2/3 in stainless steel tanks... Read more »

“a very good example of this varietal”
88 POINTS: eRobertParker.com
Showing me the Pinot Gris during my visit was almost an after-thought, nonetheless Kumeu’s 2009 Pinot Gris is a very good example of this varietal (not to mention very popular). Displaying moderate to intense apple, peach and pear aromas, there’s a pleasantly yeasty/spicy undercurrent. The medium bodied style is dry with a notable touch of sweetness (10 grams per liter), medium-high acid, a nice bit of viscosity and a long, refreshing finish. Drink it now through 2013. eRobertParker.com, #191, Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW

"this vintage of Kumeu River Chardonnay is meticulously detailed"
5 STARS: Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
"A youthful wine yet exhibits seductive complexity and irresistible aromas of white peach, citrus, oatmeal and a touch of flint. The palate is concentrated and beautifully integrated with fine texture and bright acidity providing superb structure and a refreshing mouthfeel. As always, this vintage of Kumeu River Chardonnay is meticulously detailed with an outstanding potential to develop gratifying flavours. At its best: now to 2016". Sam Kim, Wine... Read more »

Top 100 wines for Summer: Metro Magazine
The 2009 Hunting Hill Chardonnay is a little youthfully mute, giving delicate lime zest, chalk dust and pink grapefruit aromas over toasted almonds, meal and buttered scones. The palate has an elegant medium body yet packs in wonderfully concentrated toast, meal and citrus flavors with racy acidity, a... Read more »

5 stars: (96/100 Points): Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
The 2009 Mate’s Vineyard Chardonnay has a beautifully expressive and complex nose already, with notes of ripe apples, white peaches, butterscotch and pineapple over savory undertones of croissant, crushed nuts and yeast extract plus a whiff of struck match and wet pebbles. Medium bodied with a beautiful satiny quality to... Read more »
