Hunting Hill Chardonnay, Kumeu River 2012

The 2012 Hunting Hill has an explosive nose - a citrus bomb - with tons of tropical and stone fruit layers plus nuances of crushed stones, nuts and baker's yeast. it gives tons of flavor layers in the medium-bodied mouth, although very tightly knit, with a gorgeous satiny texture and an incredibly long finish. Simply a stunning wine, this will greatly reward a further 2-6+ years of cellaring. Drink 2014 - 2024.

Herbaceous spicy the nose is fresh the palate light at the start but there is the mid sweetness of tropical fruits. Tight on the back palate the citrus and mineral refresh the finish is light fresh directional. 2018-24

Very fine and expressive with a lime-tinged nose and amazing finesse on the palate. Linear and direct with some smoky minerality under the lemony fruit and hints of white peach. Thrilling and nervous.

Sultry and pungent. Lots to like here though it is quite evolved. Great savoury stuff with quite a bit in reserve.Drink 2016-2028
