2013 Hunting Hill Chardonnay, Kumeu River, Kumeu

More and more the Hunting Hill steals the show in Kumeu’s releases for finely balancing mineral precision with pure and indulgent fruit. Exotic and generous in 2013, yet with lots of structure and a coolness running through it; a recent blind tasting saw the 2007 of this clean up against the big names from Burgundy.

2013 Hunting Hill Chardonnay, Kumeu River, Kumeu
Kumeu River

Called “White Burgundy in Kiwi clothing” by Neal Martin and "an Auckland Pearl" by Julia Harding MW, no New World producer has received such critical acclaim over the last few years as Kumeu River. It’s no surprise: this is a New Zealand Chardonnay producer crafting wines of Grand Cru quality at village wine prices. And the connection to Burgundy is apt: these wines are dead ringers for top white Chassagne-Montrachet, Puligny-Montrachet or Meursault, without losing their own sense of identity.
