Kumeu River Crémant Rosé NV

The team at Kumeu River have for a long time thought that they could produce high quality sparkling wine from their vineyards in Kumeu, particularly from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The Kumeu River Crémant fulfils this long held ambition. The French term Crémant may only be used to describe a specific type of sparkling wine and must meet exacting production methods to maintain the integrity of the name. These include a second alcoholic fermentation in the bottle and a maturation on yeast lees of not less than nine months. A similar set of standards apply to the vinification, including hand harvesting and whole bunch pressing. As the term implies, the taste should be creamy. To use the term Kumeu Crémant all the fruit used to make these wines must come from the estates vineyards at Kumeu River. The grapes are all hand harvested, gently pressed and spend 3 years on yeast lees before disgorgement to create a deliciously textural and refreshing sparkling wine. For the Kumeu Crémant Rosé, Kumeu River Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes blend together to create a deliciously dry and perfectly pink Crémant. The aromas of summer sparkle from the glass, freshly picked strawberries and white stone fruits abound on the textural palate. The perfect aperitif fizz!

Vintage Availability

We endeavour to display accurate and current vintages on all our wines listed on the website; however, from time to time stocks of the vintage listed do become exhausted. If this is the case with your order we will always contact you to recommend another vintage of the same wine, if it is still available. If the vintage of a wine is important to you then please leave a note at checkout advising us of this. 

 

Stock Availability

As we are retail stockists, selling from our Ledston shop as well as online, it makes it difficult for us to show a 'real-time' inventory of our wines and spirits online. As such, very occasionally, a wine may be out of stock that the website has allowed you to order.

To ensure a timely delivery, we are happy to substitute your order with a similar wine of equal or higher value and at no additional cost to you!

If this is not an acceptable solution please advise us in the 'Add A Comment' section at the checkout.
