Kumeu River Hunting Hill Chardonnay 2014 is a medium-bodied, single-vineyard Chardonnay produced by Kumeu River in the Kumeu region of Auckland on the North Island of New Zealand. The Hunting Hill vineyard is renowned for producing a flinty, reductive expression of Chardonnay. The 2014 vintage was matured in French oak (25% new) for 10 months, with a further six months ageing in stainless steel tanks. "The 2014 Hunting Hill Chardonnay has a white peach, spiced apple and honeyed pear nose with hints of ginger, brioche and almonds. Medium-bodied, the silken textured palate gives layer upon layer of stone fruit and savoury flavours plus excellent persistence." Wine Advocate

Vinous
The 2014 Chardonnay Hunting Hill retains a bright lemon hue that would leave you astonished if you had this blind and found out it was already ten years old. It's a little muted on the nose with a hint of dustiness. The Hunting Hill comes from relatively young vines at this stage (13 years), but there's no doubting its concentration and the linear power that runs through its fleshy, ripe core. This wine extends into a lengthy, sinewy finish, with apricot fruit meeting its kernel. Rebecca Gibb1st September 2024
