Kumeu River 25 Village Chardonnay sku_2303465-1 which are reticent at firstVillage Chardonnay is produced from grapes grown in both Kumeu and Hawke's Bay. The wine undergoes partial barrel fermentation which provides some richness but very little oak in influence. Combined with tank fermentation, this allows the vibrant fruit to show through beautifully with lively lime and lemon aromas and a flinty, mineral edginess with hints of fig and white peach.
