Winery notes (2019 Vintage)
"Our distinctive hillside vineyard above the Waihopai Valley was planted in 2000 with a European approach; close vine spacing and at high density (approx. 5,000/ha). We manage the vineyard according to principles of biodynamics and organics. The first to be planted in New Zealand, our Petit Manseng thrives within our only northwest facing vineyard block – the 10% slope capturing the intensity of the afternoon sun.
Light green gold in colour, our 2019 Petit Manseng has a complex, aromatic bouquet of fresh quince, pineapple and almond. In the mouth, the wine starts sweet and delicate but it is quick to boast a concentrated mid palate of fresh pip fruit with a hint of mango. It has an appealing minerality and faint chalky texture emerges, quite typical of the varietal, adding complexity to the wonderful persistence of flavour. A classic Churton Petit Manseng."
