Kumeu River Hunting Hill Chardonnay 2023

"Kumeu River somehow manages to make some of not just New Zealand’s but the world’s finest Chardonnay from vineyards in the Auckland suburbs." Jancis Robinson MW

"Amongst the very best Chardonnay producers in the world is Kumeu River in New Zealand. Their Chardonnays were put to the test a few years ago when several were assessed blind, intermixed with some very serious Puligny-Montrachets and Meursaults. Kumeu River triumphed to such an extent that it became almost embarrassing. And to think that you can buy an entire case of Kumeu River for the cost of a single bottle of some Grand Crus.” Neal Martin - Vinous

"Concentrated, taut, Burgundy-like wine with grapefruit, oyster shell, lime blossom and a subtle seasoning of spicy oak supported by a tangy backbone of acidity. It has power, poise and purity. A high-energy chardonnay with a lingering finish. 28 JUN 2022  2022–2029.  Rating: 96 Points. Bob Campbell The Real Review. " 96 Points.  Bob Campbell MW, The Real Review.
