2021 Kumeu River Hunting Hill Pinot Noir

Name: 2021 Kumeu River Hunting Hill Pinot Noir
Brand: Kumeu River
Price: 52.0 GBP

In 1994 Kumeu River established new plantings of Pinot Noir on their estate with the aim of producing red wine to rival the quality of the iconic Kumeu River Chardonnay.

To this end, only the best new planting material available from Burgundy was chosen, and grafted onto extremely low-vigour rootstocks, to limit the yield and intensify the flavour of this wonderfully aristocratic grape variety.

Tasting Note: There is a beautiful purity of ripe cherry fruit on the nose with a hint of gaminess. The palate is texturally supple but carrying enough tannin to let this wine take on some nice bottle age. This wine will surprise many that have not tasted it before and a step up from previous editions of Hunting Hill Pinot Noir.

Origin: Kumeu, New Zealand

Blend: Pinot Noir

Kumeu River

The Brajkovich family and Kumeu River Wines is a story that parallels the New Zealand wine industry.

From the pioneering days to the establishment of the New Zealand wine industry to today, the Brajkovich family have been internationally recognised as producing world class wine.

Kumeu River Wines encompasses 30 hectares of vineyards, which are predominantly clay soils overlying a sandstone base. These soil types retain sufficient water at depth, even during the summer months, to ensure the deep vine roots continue to hydrate the vine without excessive vigour. Therefore, the vineyard doesn’t require irrigation, a factor that is critical to the quality of Kumeu River’s grapes.
