Kumeu River
Kumeu River
After arriving in New Zealand in 1938, Dalmatian Mate Brajkovic purchased a small vineyard with his parents in 1944, near the settlement of Kumeu, to the north west of Auckland. After son Michael took over Kumeu River Wines in 1982, the potential of Kumeu River began to be realised, and Kumeu River has now established its reputation as one of New Zealand`s best white wine producers. The estate is particularly renowned for its Chardonnay, and its Kumeu River and Mate`s Vineyard Chardonnay win international acclaim on a regular basis.
