Kumeu River Wines - Kumeu Village Pinot Noir 2025
In April 2017 Kumeu took possession of a vineyard at Rays Road in Hawkes Bay that was already planted with Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The vineyard soil is wind-blown clay loess over limestone, so we were particularly keen to see how these varieties performed.
2018 was their first vintage from Rays Road and the potential of the Pinot Noir was very exciting. Now, from the exceptional 2025 vintage they have some excellent quality to produce a delicious Village Pinot Noir as well as the more complex Rays Road. This Village wine is from parcels in Rays Road that were not quite to the standard of the Rays Road bottling.
The wine displays a bright, cherry red/burgundy colour with lifted red fruit aromas. On the palate the wine is cool, round and fruity and with a nice hint of chalky tannin that keeps the wine dry and refreshing.
