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. \u003cstrong\u003eWinery\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eVery little introduction needed.\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: start;\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0504\/1537\/0392\/files\/Something_special_sticker_240x240.png?v=1747350165\" alt=\"\" style=\"float: none;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0504\/1537\/0392\/files\/Pick_of_the_bunch_240x240.png?v=1717454048\" style=\"margin-bottom: 16px; float: none;\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Kumeu River","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49631562629272,"sku":null,"price":110.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0504\/1537\/0392\/files\/KumeuMates.png?v=1785818307","url":"https:\/\/winefreedom.co.nz\/products\/kumeu-mates-vineyard-chardonnay-2025","provider":"Wine Freedom Dunedin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
