Kumeu River Hunting Hill Chardonnay 2023 showcases a nuanced profile with layers of stone fruit such as peach and apricot complemented by a subtle minerality. The palate reveals notes of citrus and white flowers, balanced by a refined acidity that provides structure. This wine is fermented with wild yeasts, contributing to its complexity, while a portion undergoes malolactic fermentation, adding a creamy texture without overpowering the fruit.

Coming from the Kumeu region of New Zealand, this Chardonnay benefits from the region’s warm climate, which allows for full ripeness of the grapes. The vineyard is known for its clay and limestone soils, which enhance the wine`s mineral character. With careful attention to viticulture and winemaking practices, this wine reflects the terroir and the philosophy of minimal intervention that Kumeu River is renowned for.

There's some really punchy acidity in the 2023 Chardonnay Hunting Hill. It's the coolest, breeziest of the three single vineyards at Kumeu, which is highlighted by the vintage, creating an athletic character. It displays its characteristic lemon/lime while its tight, forceful texture grips the roof of your mouth. It is not the most concentrated of Hunting Hills, but it still attains balance and restraint. No new oak was used in 2023, usually around 25%. One for the cellar, but if you must open in the coming 2-5 years, decant this wine.
