Kumeu River
– Von internationalen Kritikern werden diese Weine schon seit Jahren hoch anerkannt und geschätzt. Auch wir vertrauen seit vielen Jahren den Kumeu River Qualitäten. Vom kleinen Chardonnay Village über den Estate Chardonnay bis hin in die Einzellagen, ähnelt dieses Weingut auch von der Struktur der Qualitätspyramide denen im Burgund.
Internationale Kritikerstimmen zu Kumeu River:
“New Zealand is a genuine New World country because there was hardly any viticulture until pioneers such as Alan Brady, Rolfe Mills and Anne Pinckney began cultivating vines in the 1970s, when nearly all grapes were used for fortified wines. Even then, New Zealand’s nascent wine industry did not take off until the 1990s with the explosion of Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir. These two grape varieties are still synonymous with New Zealand, but of course, the country also makes great Chardonnay.” – Neal Martin
“If you can taste history, duty, and family pride in a glass, it’s there in the Kumeu River Chardonnays…now producing some of New Zealand’s greatest Chardonnays, not to mention the world’s.” – Lisa Perrotti-Brown, M.W./Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate
„Last week I was presented with proof of my theory that the white wine grape of which New Zealanders should be most proud is not Sauvignon Blanc but Chardonnay. For the past two decades the country has seen a tidal wave of Sauvignon Blanc that has drenched even the Australian wine market with what Aussies call a Sauvalanche. Kiwi Sauvignon Blanc may have been a huge commercial success but no one could accuse it of subtlety or longevity.“ – Jancis Robinson
