Kumeu River Cremant NV
Kumeu River is truly a family affair, with four siblings currently running the company under the guidance of their mother Melba. This is such a well-known winery both domestically and internationally and they are widely recognised for the quality of wine that they produce. Cremant is a term for sparkling wines made in the same way as traditional Champagne but can’t be called Champagne as the term is protected by law. The wine is 60% Chardonnay and 40% Pinot Noir. It was bottled in February 2016 and disgorged in December 2019. It is fresh, crisp and racy with a delicious fine bubble profile.
