95/100 | Erin Larkin, Wine Advocate
Another example of world class chardonnay from legendary producer Kumeu River. Hand harvested and whole bunch pressed with 100% barrel fermentation and 100% malo-lactic fermentation. This chardonnay has a beautifully ripe, distinctive, mealy minerality. Another exceptional release from the Kumeu River team.

Erin Larkin writes "The 2024 Hunting Hill Chardonnay is the ripest in alcohol of the 2024 releases, and it feels powerfully layered and driven on the palate. This is rich, almost thunderous in its positioning, with salted citrus and exotic spices (star anise/fennel/scraped vanilla pod). The oak here is polished and elegant, smoothing down any stray, loose hairs. The barrels have been air dried for three years and lightly toasted. The finish is tight and focused."
