| Vintage: | 2018 |

| Description: | 95 points Bob Campbell. Taut, crisp and tangy chardonnay with a salty, mineral, citrus, grapefruit, bran biscuit and nutty oak flavours. An elegant, high-energy wine with impressive underlying power and obvious cellaring potential. (6/2019) 93 points James Suckling. This has plenty of rich, stone-fruit aromas with a fresh and quite crisp palate that has good focus and a sleek, gentle, pastry-like finish. Plenty to offer now, but is quite taut and linear. Drink or hold. (10/2019) 93 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate. Almost always the most opulent of the Kumeu Chards, the 2018 Hunting Hill Chardonnay fits that description perfectly. Loaded with white peach, pineapple and even melon-like fruit, those notes are sculpted by faint suggestions of pencilly oak in a generous but focused package. It's medium to full-bodied, with a creamy mid-palate and a vibrant finish. (11/2019) 93 points Wine Spectator. Intense and mouthwatering, with a honeyed beeswax note that adds nuance to the pear, grapefruit and melon flavors on a sleek frame. Shows terrific clarity and focus. Crisp finish. Drink now through 2029. 860 cases made, 112 cases imported. (6/2020). |
