"A captivating bouquet of fresh white fleshed fruit, whispers of white and exotic flowers. Red and yellow apple, white clay and mineral core, soft white baking spices and lots of energy. On the palate - plush, fresh and delicious, a completely captivating wine on the palate with fine gentle creamy texture, mineral wild flowers, lively acid line and fruit flavours that mirror the nose. A great example, perfectly balanced, lengthy and just dry." - Cameron Douglas MW
"Rich, weighty wine with appealing varietal flavours of apple, peach, floral and subtle spice flavours supported by fine, tangy acidity. Deliciously approachable now but no rush 1/4/2020." - Bob Campbell MW
"Aromas of fresh lime zest and fragrant gardenias, this wine is taut and vibrant in a way that will show its’ maturity over a very long period of time. Flavours of fine wool and bush honey are enhanced by cumquat and ripe bouche pear aromas with a tingling aftertaste.
Grown, not made. The Millton Vineyard specialises in growing fine wine from estate grown grapes sourced from their own single vineyards. In 1986 they were the first New Zealand winegrowers to attain the Bio-Gro organic certification and after 28 years of biodynamic practice they were again one of the first to qualify for the Demeter certification NZ, in 2009." - Millton

"In 1984 James and Annie Millton established The Millton Vineyard on the banks of the Te Arai River near Manutuke, where the early settlers first planted grapevines in 1871. This region is situated on the East Coast of the North Island of New Zealand in the wine appellation of Gisborne.
Even Millton's earliest releases were of high quality, not only winning favour with foundation customers, but pleasing the wine judges as well. Recognition was rapidly achieved winning numerous trophies and gold medals for the traditionally styled Riesling and Chenin Blanc. Internationally, gold medals were awarded for the 1992 Gisborne Chardonnay at the International Wine Challenge in London. This wine then went on to win the trophy at the International Organic Wine Challenge Fair, while two other Millton wines entered came second and third.
