Kumeu River Chardonnay, Hunting Hill, Kumeu — 2020 – Jancis Robinson – 17++ Points
17++ points
Really nervy nose. Truly burgundian, if one is allowed to say this. Great fruit and great tension. Just the job and amazingly vibrant and persistent on the finish. You could drink this already but it will clearly last really well – though winemaker Michael Brajkovich is consistently cautious with his suggested drinking windows; ‘will improve with bottle age for four to six years’. A hint of Puligny here.
