Occupying the slope overlooking Mate's Vineyard, it has always contributed lovely ripe and rich fruit to the Estate Chardonnay. Hunting Hill was replanted in 2000 and is now even better than before, giving beautifully ripe fruit with a distinctive mealy minerality. The incredible run of vintages since 2019 has continued with 2022.  The conditions during harvest were suburb and 2022 produced a classic Hunting Hill. Very distinctive terroir driven typicity, with piercing lemon\/lime fruit lift and florality on the nose, richness and volume in the mouth followed by lingering acidity and minerality on the finish. This is an absolute classic example of how great the Chardonnay grape can be: A beautifully powerful, yet elegant and complex wine with long term aging ability.\" \u003cstrong\u003e- Michael Brajkovich, winemaker\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Randall's Fine Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42335115641012,"sku":"22KUMCHDHUNT750","price":99.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0561\/1261\/1508\/files\/Kumeu_River_Hunting_Hill_Chardonnay.png?v=1754549473"},{"product_id":"pre-arrival-2023-jerome-chezeaux-nuits-saint-georges-1er-cru-aux-boudots-750ml","title":"2023 Jerome Chezeaux Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru 'Aux Boudots' 750ml","description":"\u003cp\u003eAdjoining Les Chaumes at its top southerly corner, Boudots is next to the (grand cru-like) Malconsorts, so it's really more like Vosne than Nuits St. Georges.\u003cbr\u003e92 Points, Tim Atkin MW\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heart \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43995863023796,"sku":"23JCNSG1ERAB750","price":249.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0561\/1261\/1508\/files\/Jerome_Chezeaux_Nuits_Saint_Georges_Boudots.png?v=1755487980"},{"product_id":"pre-arrival-2023-jerome-vosne-romanee-1er-cru-les-chaumes-750ml-copy","title":"2023 Jerome Chezeaux Vosne-Romanee 1er Cru 'Les Chaumes' 750ml","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis site runs from La Tache and 1er cru Malconsorts down to the village of Vosne.
