Tasting Notes
JancisRobinson.com 16.5
Blend of 42% Kumeu fruit and 58% Hawke s Bay, including a total of 32% of clone 95 (which no longer goes into the Rays Road bottling) from the Brajkovichs own Rays Road vineyard bought from Trinity Hill in 2017. The other 26% is bought in from Bridge Pa. Vines planted between 1989 and 2016. As with all Kumeu River wines, the grapes were hand-picked, fermented with ambient yeast and 100% malo. 38% of this entry-level wine was fermented in French oak barriques at least five years old. Bottled late August/September whereas the grander Chardonnays are bottled the following May.Some stone-fruit freshness. Nice flinty streak throughout. Really quite a presence on the palate. Kumeu River s best Village bottling so far! Good impact. Long. I m almost tempted to give it 17. VGV
Anticipated maturity: 2026-2030
