Kumeu River; Estate Chardonnay; 2017; 2 (1 x 2); 750ml

Kumeu River, just west of Auckland, is New Zealand's benchmark Chardonnay producer, run by the Brajkovich family, whose Michael Brajkovich became the country's first Master of Wine. Its hand-crafted, Burgundian-styled Chardonnays are counted among the finest made outside France. 2017 was a cooler New Zealand vintage, lending the wine real tension and freshness. Erin Larkin from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate gave it a rating of 93, Neal Martin from Vinous gave it 92, MaryAnn Worobiec from Wine Spectator gave it 91, and Jancis Robinson gave it 16.5 out of 20.

Estimate:£69.02
