Kumeu River Wines - Rays Road Hawkes Bay Chardonnay 2024 The varied soil types andRays Road is Kumeu Rivers new vineyard site in Hawkes Bay. This limestone hillside is at 180 m altitude, with a northerly aspect. It is dry farmed to yield high quality grapes for wine under the Rays Road name for the Kumeu River label. This Chardonnay was hand harvested, whole bunch pressed and fermented with wild yeast in older French Oak barrels to give a wine that is zesty and fragrant, with mineral complexity that is very true to its site.
