Winery notes (2025 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, October 2025 (2025 Vintage)
"Fragrant, floral, varietal and enticing bouquet with scents of fresh red and yellow apple, pear and citrus peel. A seam of minerality flows through the bouquet with a fresh stream water suggestion. Precise, fresh, fruity and delicious. Off-dry, though this contrasted quickly with the backbone of acidity driving texture and flavour through the palate. Pomaceous fruits, citrus and mineral are bound together with the acid line into a refreshing and youthful expression. Best drinking from 2025 through 2030+."
