Winemaker Notes
As with the Kumeu Pinot Noir, the Village Pinot Noir is produced from grapes grown in Kumeu River's estate vineyards in the Auckland region of New Zealand. The Village Pinot Noir is also 100% handharvested, de-stemmed and then crushed.
The Kumeu River 2004 Village Pinot Noir features a silky texture with beautiful acid balance and length of flavor. The nose exhibits ripe berry aromas. The finish is elegantly crisp and firm.

Founded in 1944 by Mick Brajkovich, wife Katé and son Maté, Kumeu River was one of the early pioneers in Auckland, New Zealand, that helped to establish its reputation as a world-class wine region. Still family owned and run, Kumeu River continues to pioneer new frontiers: winemaker Michael Brajkovich became New Zealand’s first member of the prestigious Institute of Masters of Wine, London, they have been testing and championing screw cap closures for close to 20 years and the winery has gone on to become the globally recognized benchmark for non-Burgundy produced Chardonnay. All Kumeu River wines are hand-harvested, whole bunch pressed and demonstrate exclusive use of indigenous yeast fermentation.
The Chardonnays of Kumeu River have gained a strong foothold within the international market, continuously and consistently receiving outstanding accolades. The winery is a globally recognized benchmark for age-worthy Chardonnay outside of Burgundy.
