{"product_id":"kumeu-river-mate-s-chardonnay-2021","title":"Kumeu River Mate's Chardonnay New Zealand 2021","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 1990, Maté Brajkovich reworked the land and planted a new vineyard of Chardonnay vines on the site of the original vineyard that he and his family purchased in March 1944. The first grapes from this vineyard were harvested in March 1993, the year following Maté’s death. The resulting wine was released in November 1994 to coincide with celebrations marking the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Brajkovich Family’s arrival at Kumeu River.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMate’s Vineyard is always the last site we pick each year. In 2019 the grapes certainly had the distinctive Mendoza millerandage, giving many small berries along with the normal sized ones, and as a result a wonderfully concentrated palate texture and fruit richness. Although still somewhat shy on the nose coming out of the barrel, with bottle age the full palette of complex aromas and bouquet of this wonderful wine will be gradually and seductively revealed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eHand harvested\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWhole-bunch pressed\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIndigenous yeast fermentation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e100% barrel fermentation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eFrench Oak, 30% New Oak\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e100% malo-lactic fermentation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e11 months maturation in barrel\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Northeast","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47792094970027,"sku":"UK019-21","price":488.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/3023\/7867\/files\/mate-chardonnay_1_1.png?v=1789195261","url":"https:\/\/www.regiswine.com.hk\/products\/kumeu-river-mate-s-chardonnay-2021","provider":"Regis Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
