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.

The 2022 Chardonnay Hunting Hill is an impressive, focused style. It has a sense of energy, being almost buoyant with the movement of a skimming stone across your palate. There's a powerful core of fruit here and it has plenty of substance within its no-more-than medium-bodied core before kerpow! It fires home with an almost spicy kick. Clever oak use, reminiscent of toasted nuts, meets restrained flavors of lemon and lime bitter and nectarine fruit. A wine that's still in its cocoon so give it time. It may even have the edge of Maté's... Big call.
