Kumeu River Hunting Hill Chardonnay
93 points
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.
