Limited Time Offer Kumeu River Rays Road Chardonnay 2021 Available for Immediate Shipping

Rays Road is Kumeu Riverﾡﾯs new vineyard site located in New Zealand's Hawkes Bay region. This limestone hillside is at 180 meters altitude, with a northerly aspect and is dry-farmed to yield high quality grapes for wine under the Kumeu River Rays Road label. This Chardonnay was hand-harvested, whole bunch pressed and fermented with wild yeast in older French Oak barrels. The limestone soils of this vineyard give quite a different expression to the vineyards in Kumeu. The wine is fragrant and flinty with a hint of pink grapefruit. The palate is supple but with a limestone edge that is piercing and lingering.[#intro]Zesty & fragrant with mineral complexity from Kumeu River's new Hawkes Bay vineyard...[/intro]
