Kumeu River 2025 Estate Chardonnay
New Zealand White
Fragrant, toasty notes accompany a rich, peachy Chardonnay with refreshing acidity. The profile is layered and complex, with richness and freshness present together. Fruit for the estate selection comes from six vineyard sites in the Kumeu region. Warm, dry conditions throughout the growing season produced concentrated Chardonnay, and only selected grapes from those vineyards entered the bottling.
Domaine des Grottes L’Antidote Sparkling Gamay
French Non-Alcoholic
Bright Gamay fruit gives the drink a juicy red-berry core, while apple and lemon bring lift and definition.

Fine bubbles make the palate lively and refreshing, leading to a clean, botanical finish. Serve well chilled as an aperitif or alongside charcuterie, fresh cheese and vegetable dishes.
