Heiner Lobenberg om:
Hunting Hill Chardonnay 2022

95+
/100

Gæret udelukkende i gamle franske træfade med efterfølgende malolaktisk gæring. Helt i europæisk stil, Meursault sender sine hilsner. Fyldig hvid vingårdsfersken i næsen, knasende æble og zest. Derudover vidunderlig smørblomsteng, lette citrusnoter og mandler, et strejf af bittermandel og marcipan. Det første indtryk af næsen bekræftes derefter i munden. Vidunderligt klar på tungen, æble-frugtagtig med fin syre, et strejf af rød fersken. Slet ikke bred, men vidunderligt fokuseret, går næsten i en puristisk retning. I smagen en let fenolisk smag med behagelig bitterhed og krydret varme, mynte og peber, som giver Chardonnay et godt spark sammen med den fyldige krop. Imponerende velstruktureret newzealænder fuld af spænding og energi, vibrerende substans. 95+/100

Galloni om: Hunting Hill Chardonnay

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. 96/100

Parker om: Hunting Hill Chardonnay

The 2022 Hunting Hill Chardonnay is mouthfilling and obvious in its outlay of flavor in the mouth—yellow peach, apricot, Golden Delicious apple, beeswax/lanolin and ripe lime flesh. The flutter of acidity that feathers the fruit is compelling and alluring in its power and juiciness. An exciting wine. It's a wine I want to drink (I will; the perks) and a wine I am enjoying considering too. It's intellectual and sensorial/corporeal in equal measure. The Hunting Hill Vineyard was planted in 1982 and overlooks Mate's Vineyard. This is a pleasurable, exciting, fleshy, complex, salty, kaleidoscopic wine. Excellent. Recommended. 13.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap. 95+/100

Suckling om: Hunting Hill Chardonnay

Cooked apple and lemon curd with hints of pie crust and sweet biscuit. Some kiwi undertones. Medium-bodied with creamy texture and a flavorful finish. Drink now. Screw cap. 95/100

Wine Spectator om: Hunting Hill Chardonnay

Fragrant and succulent, with notes of grilled peach, mango and orange blossoms that are generous, fleshy and very juicy. Generous details of green tea, lemon curd and lemon balm linger, as does an appealing note of crunchy sea salt minerality. Drink now through 2034

Jancis Robinson om: Hunting Hill Chardonnay

Tense and racy and tight – sort of Chassagne/St-Aubin border?! More obvious acid and tension than in the other Kumeu River Chardonnays. You could definitely enjoy it already if you liked a leaner style but it would benefit from further ageing ideally. 17,5/20

Kumeu River

Kumeu er en lille by og også en underregion af Aucklands vindyrkningsregion. Regionen blev oprindeligt bosat af kroatiske immigranter, som ofte kom fra vinbondefamilier. Men først og fremmest betyder maori-ordet Kumeu "god frugt". Med andre ord gode betingelser for en vinregion.
