Description
In a nutshell:
This New Zealand sparkler offers a delightful dance of citrus and brioche, perfect for celebrating a summer's day (or, let's be honest, a Tuesday evening).
The lowdown:
This isn't your average fizz. Think lively bubbles tickling your nose, followed by whispers of citrus and orchard fruits. There's a hint of buttery brioche too, just to keep things interesting. This sparkler's from a New Zealand winery known for its top-notch Chardonnay, and it shows. Made like proper Champagne, it's a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, aged for over two and a half years for a richness that goes beyond mere bubbles. Dry, with a refreshing finish, it's like a posh celebration in a glass, but without the hefty price tag. Now, where did I put those strawberries?
The Producer:
Kumeu River is a New Zealand legend, crafting world-class Chardonnay instead of the country's famed Sauvignon Blanc. Founded in 1944 near Auckland by Croatian immigrant Maté Brajkovich, it's now run by his son Michael (New Zealand's first Master of Wine) and siblings. They offer a warm, family welcome at the cellar door. While their Auckland location presents land-cost challenges, they're expanding to Hawkes Bay. Alongside Chardonnay, they've recently found success with Alsatian-style Pinot Gris and a delightful Chardonnay/Pinot Noir sparkler. This is a family-driven operation focused on quality, not flash.
When to drink:
Keep a bottle of this chilled for any-excuse celebrations - perfect with shellfish or a simply grilled white fish.
