Kumeu River Hunting Hill Chardonnay 2023
Product Description
From one of Kumeu River’s most distinguished sites, the Hunting Hill Chardonnay 2023 reflects the vineyard’s unique slope and mineral-rich soils, first planted in 1982 and revitalized in 2000. This vintage offers a refined balance of ripe fruit and flinty complexity, with vibrant citrus, white peach, and subtle floral notes.
The palate is sleek and linear, with crisp acidity, layers of lemon zest, saline minerality, and a creamy texture from extended lees aging. Delicate hints of cashew and white florals add depth, while the restrained oak treatment ensures purity and focus. The finish is long, fresh, and impeccably balanced—showcasing the precision of this cool-climate Chardonnay.
A standout in Kumeu River’s single-vineyard range, the Hunting Hill 2023 is a wine of finesse, best enjoyed now or cellared for further complexity.
