There's a lovely honeysuckle quality to the orchard fruit in this
The Viognier was harvested by hand, fermented in small stainless steel tanks and old French oak barrels. The aromatic delight of Viognier is enhanced by partnering with foods high in Umami flavours, which also give a perceived impression of 'saltiness'. A fine thread of residual sweetness intensifies the overall appeal as an aperitif with aged white cheeses.
Silver Medal at the 2012 International Wine Challenge
'Svelte, lovely and inspiring with its suggestion of varietal perfume, an acidic backbone, a touch of creamy oak and inherent poise. Gold medal!' Anne Krebiehl, Harpers Wine and Spirit August 2012.
'Rich, scented Viognier from a long established organic and biodynamic producer in Gisborne on New Zealand's North Island; this has that extra-intense dimension that biodynamic wines seem to possess. One for balmy summer evenings' Recommended in The Guardian by Fiona Beckett - July 2012
Tom Cannavans wine of the week Jan 2011
13.5% ABV
James and Annie Millton established The Millton Vineyards in 1984. Located within kilometres of the South Pacific ocean Gisborne enjoys a temperate maritime climate with warm summers cooled by the afternoon sea breeze, misty autumns and mild winters. As biodynamic producers they incorporate the use of special herbal preparations and teas along with a deep understanding of the complex cosmic rhythms which affect their daily activities. James and Annie are committed to leaving the land in an improved state for future generations.
'These wines are not just superb by Gisborne standards, they are among New Zealand's best.' Jamie Goode, 2013
