Kumeu River Maté’s Vineyard Chardonnay 2018

750 ml

Maté’s Vineyard Chardonnay

In 1990, Maté Brajkovich reworked the land and planted a new vineyard of Chardonnay vines on the site of the original vineyard that he and his family purchased in March 1944. The first grapes from this vineyard were harvested in March 1993, the year following Maté’s death. The resulting wine was released in November 1994 to coincide with celebrations marking the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Brajkovich Family’s arrival at Kumeu River.

“Maté’s is usually the tightest, most linear of the KR Chards, and that’s again the case. The 2016 Mate’s Vineyard Chardonnay is marked by smoky new oak, but there’s also pineapple and grapefruit notes that create a crisp, acidic spine. Draped off of that are hints of white peaches, roasted hazelnuts and tangerine. There’s an almost briny zestiness to the lingering finish that sets it apart from the winery’s other single-vineyard bottlings.”

– Joe Czerwinski, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate.
