Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, Kumeu River

Ripe grapefruit, citrus, classic grassyness – zesty minerality, still youthful, full of life. Surprising weight and depth in the palate, creamy yet fresh and lively; hard to resist. The minerality continues through onto the finish which is medium long, clean and balanced.

Producer: Kumeu River Wines was established in 1944 when Mick and Katé Brajkovich and their son Maté first came to the small country settlement of Kumeu, about 20 km northwest of Auckland - the family had migrated from Yugoslavia in 1938 and had been working in the far north of New Zealand digging kauri gum. After moving to Henderson West Auckland in the early 1940s they worked on vineyards and orchards in the area and saved enough money to buy a property with a small existing vineyard at Kumeu. Once Michael Brajkovich Maté’s son makes his mind up to do something it tends to get done. Just as his Chardonnays have a lovely minerality, typicity and sense of place, so his Sauvignon Blanc balances out the classic Marlborough ripeness of fruit with a richness and depth that most other producers fail to match - not all, but most.
