Kumeu River Cremant NV

Kumeu River Cremant NV is a striking debut sparkling wine from one of New Zealand’s most acclaimed producers, showing just how much finesse can be achieved outside Champagne. Made from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir and aged extensively on lees, it combines precision, depth, and a beautifully dry finish with the kind of craftsmanship that has made Kumeu River famous. For anyone looking beyond the classics, this is a serious sparkling wine with real pedigree.

Makuprofiili
Pale straw in the glass with a fine, elegant mousse, this wine opens with lifted aromas of citrus, honey, flint, fresh goat cheese, and brioche. There is a refined, almost mineral clarity to the nose, supported by the subtle richness that comes from extended time on the lees. On the palate, it is crisp and dry, yet rounded and layered, with bright citrus fruit, saline freshness, and a creamy, biscuity depth. The balance between tension and texture gives it impressive presence, while the long lees aging adds complexity and length. It is enjoyable now for its freshness and energy, but it should also hold well over the next few years as its secondary notes continue to develop.

Viininvalmistus
Produced in Auckland, New Zealand, this cuvée is based on 60% Chardonnay and 40% Pinot Noir, a classic sparkling blend chosen for finesse, structure, and freshness. The wine is aged for 30 months on the bottle before disgorgement, which is done by hand, allowing the producer to preserve detail and control in the final wine. While specific vineyard and harvest details are not provided, the result clearly reflects excellent fruit quality and careful méthode traditionnelle winemaking.

Ruoka & tarjoilu
This sparkling wine is an excellent match for oysters, shellfish, tempura, sushi, roasted chicken, or creamy goat cheese, and it also works beautifully with canapés and festive aperitifs. Serve well chilled, ideally around 8–10°C. Decanting is not recommended; instead, open gently and enjoy it fresh to preserve the fine mousse and vibrant aromatics.
