Notes from the producer:

In 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.

The wine shows the density, concertation and length that we expect from a terrific Mate’s Vineyard vintage. With bottle age the full palette of complex aromas and bouquet of this wonderful wine will be gradually and seductively revealed.
