Description

Overlooking the famous Mate's vineyard, Hunting Hill was originally planted in 1982 but replanted with Clone 15 in 2000. These days the wine has achieved legendary status, its refined style and dynamic acid line giving a Puligny Montrachet Premier Cru-like purity, juxtaposed against a creamy and generous mid-palate and a finish that is seemingly endless. World class Chardonnay, this 2022 release is a rock-star from day one and be sure to secure your case! Given 5-10 years in the bottle, it will supersede all your expectations, and have you thinking should I buy expensive Cru White Burgundy many times the price or have an equal experience at a fraction of their price.

Smells

An array of complex aromas including white flowers, peach, nectarine, red apple, almond, jasmine, freshly churred butter, and vanilla, with hints of citrus and mealiness.

Tastes

Supremely pure with a breathtakingly velvety texture, the wine is so confident in its own expression, fruit, and elegance to perfection. A rich, textural palate with chalky, stone suck acidity, the oak will ease more into the background with a few years integration and be nothing but sublime. Rare to taste and always a pleasure, it will be even better 2025 through 2030+.
