Kumeu River Chardonnay Hunting Hill 2021

White
Kumeu, New Zealand

WineSaint

Tight and mineral-driven, with piercing citrus acidity that cuts through layers of stone fruit and sea spray. The palate shows impressive concentration from these maturing vines, though the wine feels coiled and unyielding at this stage. Needs five years minimum to reveal its full potential.
