Millton Estate

This gorgeous wine is a blend of Malbec grown at Te Arai, Syrah grown at Opou and Viognier grown at Riverpoint. There is dark leather and black pepper with a tingling aroma of lifted spice, unique to this wine and its own natural surroundings. The taste is dense and alive with mint, chocolate and Asian spice.

This wine has a warm ripe apricot character with lifted acidity, scented white peach and honeysuckle and finishing with a soft, fat warm mouth-filling character of immediate appeal.

A bright fruited, expressive nose with notes of dark cherry, juniper berry and fine burnished leather, yet with a subtle hint of roses. Savoury touches add complexity to the svelte palate and the taste is firm and alert with a lively mineral edge to balance. To soften the mouth-feel this wine has been fined with our own free-range egg whites, the yokes going to the kitchen for other culinary use.

This wine is rich and sensual with an adoring complexity of Bosc pears and walnuts together with pretty white flowers and juniper berries stimulate the aromas. The taste is dry with a subtle pucker of textured tannins. With food one would suggest Indian dishes or duck breast poached in Moroccan spices.

With aromas of fresh lime zest and fragrant gardenias, this wine is softened by a natural malo-lactic fermentation which gives warmth and deliciousness to the taste. The wine will mature over a long time, yet now has flavours of fine wool and bush honey including quince and ripe bouche pear with a long tingling aftertaste.

Floral aromas of orange and white blossom combine with notes of honey and acorn. Creamy and rich on the palate, but slightly more refined than other Gisbourne Chardonnays.

Aromas of citrus fruit and honeyed spice on the nose are followed by succulent fruit on the palate. Beautifully balanced, with fresh acidity.

Delicate yet lifted, balance plus harmony this wine has had nothing added to it to disguise it's authenticity. Lifted complexity and fragrance notes, straw gold hues radiate luminosity, energy and light. Unfined

Bristling delicacy, buoyed by a noted mineral edge. Poached pear and warm croissant give a spiced and sappy appeal. The salinity sings the proximity of the vineyard to it's maritime environment. We consider the aromatic delight of Viognier will enhance and partner foods high in Umami flavours.
