Kumeu River Rays Road Hawke's Bay Chardonnay 2019
Delectably creamy with scrumptious peach flavours
Delectably creamy with scrumptious peach flavours
Description
- French oak
- Citrus peel
- Peach
- Fresh acidity
The 2019 Rays Road Chardonnay displays aroma of citrus peel, flinty minerals and salty seashells. There are creamy, peach-like flavours on the mid-palate, but then it finishes firmly with zesty fresh acidity and a steel backbone.
The 2019 vintage was exceptional and produced sensational Chardonnay across all the winemakers vineyards. The limestone-based vineyard at Rays Road in Hawkes Bay has yielded some uniquely characterful Chardonnay from this vintage.
Rays Road is Kumeu River’s new vineyard site in Hawkes Bay. This limestone hillside is at 180 m altitude, with a northerly aspect. It is dry-farmed to yield high quality grapes for wine under the Rays Road name for our Kumeu River label. This Chardonnay was hand-harvested, whole bunch pressed and fermented with wild yeast in older French Oak barrels to give a wine that is zesty and fragrant, with mineral complexity that is very true to its site.
