{"product_id":"kumeu-river-cremant-blanc-de-blancs","title":"Kumeu River Crémant Blanc de Blancs","description":"\u003cp\u003eKumeu River Crémant Blanc de Blancs 2018 is a compelling example of how exceptional sparkling wine can come from outside Champagne. Made entirely from Chardonnay by one of New Zealand’s most respected producers, it combines precision, elegance, and a distinctly cool-climate personality that makes it a serious contender in any blind tasting. It also reflects Kumeu River’s long-standing pursuit of benchmark-quality wines, now extended beautifully into sparkling form.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMakuprofiili\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, this Blanc de Blancs should show a fine, persistent mousse with a bright, pale straw colour and hints of green-gold. The nose is expected to be refined and expressive, with citrus, green apple, white flowers, and subtle brioche or toasted nut notes, all framed by fresh mineral tension.\n\nOn the palate, the wine is likely to be crisp and focused, with Chardonnay-driven purity, lively acidity, and a creamy yet restrained texture. Expect flavours of lemon zest, ripe orchard fruit, and a touch of pastry complexity. With its structure and freshness, it has the balance to age gracefully for several years, developing greater depth and autolytic character over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eViininvalmistus\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProduced in Auckland, New Zealand, this wine draws on the region’s cool maritime climate, which helps preserve acidity and aromatic freshness in Chardonnay. The grapes are harvested with careful attention to ripeness and balance, then vinified using traditional sparkling-wine methods to build finesse, texture, and complexity. As a 100% Chardonnay Blanc de Blancs, the focus is on precision, purity, and elegant expression of the fruit rather than overt richness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRuoka \u0026amp; tarjoilu\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis sparkling wine is a natural match for oysters, caviar, shellfish, sushi, sashimi, and delicate seafood dishes, but it will also shine alongside creamy poultry, soft cheeses, or lightly salted snacks. Serve well chilled, ideally around 6–8°C, to preserve its freshness and fine mousse. Decanting is not recommended; instead, open shortly before serving and enjoy while it is at its brightest.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kumeu River","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49122489434354,"sku":"FW-9082","price":39.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0826\/4810\/5202\/files\/kumeu_cremt_bdb_nv.png?v=1777476297","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.fi\/products\/kumeu-river-cremant-blanc-de-blancs","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
