2024 Kumeu River "Kumeu Village" Chardonnay Auckland

Review Date: 09/2025A blend of Auckland and Hawkes Bay fruit, this is already approachable, with some subtle red apple and ripe white-fleshed stonefruit. Lovely ripeness and although lean and sleek there’s plenty of flavour. Acidity seems quite soft compared to other years? Good length. (JS)

Aromas and flavors of fresh and cooked apples with hints of vanilla and cream. It’s medium-bodied with lemon and lime highlights and crisp acidity. A touch of flint at the end. Lovely to drink now.

The 2024 Village Chardonnay had just been freshly bottled when I tasted it at the estate in Kumeu in March 2025. The other 2024 Chardonnays were tasted as tank samples prior to filtration and bottling soon. The wine leads with yellow citrus and crushed shells. It is texturally fine, sleek and tightly coiled around a core of salty acidity. It is complex but composed and very good. (EL)
