The Kumeu River Hunting Hill Chardonnay 2020 presents a blend of concentrated fruit and subtle oak influence. Aromas of white stone fruits, including peaches and nectarines, are complemented by hints of citrus zest and a drizzle of honey. On the palate, the wine displays a balanced acidity, showcasing layers of fruit alongside a touch of minerality and a creamy texture. The finish is long and carries notes of toasty oak, reflecting its time spent in barrels.

Kumeu River, located in New Zealand`s Auckland region, has garnered a reputation for producing high-quality Chardonnays. The Hunting Hill vineyard benefits from a unique microclimate and volcanic soils, contributing to the wine`s complexity. This Chardonnay undergoes fermentation in French oak barrels, allowing it to develop nuances of oak without overwhelming its fruit character. The 2020 vintage is notable for its integration and harmony, making it a representative example of the region`s winemaking ethos.

- The 2020 Chardonnay Hunting Hill is a spicy little number. It offers five spice and cloves, joining nectarine and grapefruit-like fruit. What I like about this is its persistence, understatement and grip. The first time I tasted this wine, it reminded me of Forrest Gump running—it doesn't stop.
