Winery notes (2023 Vintage)
"Always aiming for the classical off-dry style of the Loire, this wine is defined by flavours of pear, quince, jasmine, Greengage plum and ginger, balanced by a deliciously zesty acidity on the palate and a rich mineral yet creamy texture. It is a true French expression of the great Chameleon of grapes, Chenin Blanc, but it’s made right here in NZ for your drinking pleasure. Perfect Food Match: A seaside picnic of Fish ‘n’ Chips.

The grapes were machine harvested in the cool of the night, cold settled before being racked into our oak cuvées for fermentation (1000L barrels imported from Germany) to add some complexity and accentuate that wet lanolin character of great Chenin."

Rated Excellent & 93/100 Cameron Douglas MS, March 2024 (2023 Vintage)
"A delicious wine with flavours of fresh and baked apples, pear and white floral highlights. Crisp and dry as the wine touches the palate, plenty of acidity with a fine saline quality, and moderate weight. There’s a touch of fine lees layering in some texture with core fruit flavours adding weight and mid-palate intensity. Best drinking from 2024 through 2030."
