Hunter’s Chardonnay

The 2017 Chardonnay shows a bright, flinty nose of nectarine, citrus and hazelnut. The front palate is tightly structured, displaying crisp peach characters and tight, linear acid. The wine is superbly balanced with fresh fruit characters, excellent oak integration all supported with Hunter’s characteristic balanced acidity. This wine drinks very well on release but will develop and evolve over the next 5-7 years.

91 POINTS – Michael Cooper, The Listener, June 2018

“Full of youthful vigour, this barrel-fermented wine has a fragrant, flinty bouquet. Fresh and full bodied (13% alc/vol), it has grapefruit and peach flavours with biscuity, smoky notes adding complexity, and a dry, crisp finish.”
