2020 Kumeu River Chardonnay Hunting Hill

Media Reviews

Rebecca Gibb MW

Possibly the most complete Hunting Hill Chardonnay I`ve tasted in youth, the 2020 provides a harmonious, melt-in-your-mouth impression. It has breadth and concentration but retains a sense of elegance on the midpalate before finishing with precision and length. Yes, there`s a little bit of flint character too, but then Hunting Hill is known to be reductive; give it time. Like Forrest Gump, it runs through a finish line and keeps on going effortlessly. There`s no box of chocolates here, though; it`s all white nectarine, citrus, white flowers and a touch of smoked nuts. 95 points
